Your promises given splintered
Under the wheels of my trust
The dust rising to the heavens
Riding eddies with the wind’s gust
Looking down from heaven’s clouds
How small you are with your black heart
Seeing the broken promises you gave me
Gives me strength for a new start

Water worn surfaces smoother tonight
Promises of yesterday on wings flight
Cold is the water in the night spring
Crying in my heart for warmth to bring
Other hearts whipped and skipped so strong
Dancing upon ripples trailing till dawn
Still sink to the depth’s growing peaks
Remembering the words you did openly speak
You said you’d leave my heart on the bank
But no you cast it with the others, and it too sank
