"Promises Still Broken"

"Promises Still Broken"

The promises

You never kept

I thought you said

That you'd bleed

For me

"Promises Still Broken"

"Garden of Nails In a Bed of Roses"

The brutal dance

Of keeping life in a trance

An elegance

With each painful step

Driving the nails deeper

With such a grotesque snap

Yet, you keep a smile

Almost as if painted

Onto your tortured face

But I can see the tears

Running down

Your weathered cheeks

Showing me that true beauty

Only comes

From heartbreak

And defeat

For only roses grow

In your shadow's golden glow
