you promised

You promised me the days we sung and cooked and danced, painting each others nails would come back someday

You promised me, so i sat restless, watching the pass of everyday, pass me by, memories souring as the clock ran 

Harmless illusions wipe away as i realize what i had been surrounded by, with each spent sunday i realised i was lucky when you ran away

Harmful children come from hazardus playgrounds,i was raised to bring pain, i know a million ways that i can

You promised, something so insignificant, you are someone who should never have been given a second thought, so why do i feel this way

You promised something so small, years later something that didn’t matter yet my mind still paints you a con-man

Harmless was never really a word i’d have thought to use for you unless in a singular action like today

Harmful even when you don’t realise i guess your the same in one way, you were a liar before our relationship began
