Promises

If all i had was promises
I would be dead now
Swallowed in despair

If all my love
was tied to the umbilical cord
of your broken promises
my love would be still born

Promises, is all you ever had
Even as we tossed in intimacy
Like the Atlantic ocean
For you it was nothing

Last night i held the moon
and made love to the stars
but the night's shadow fade
It is but a broken promise
