He Promised
He said WE were forever; the wondrous life to be.
He promised all his vows, then took them all from me.
He said WE were forever, as it slipped over my finger.
Now memories began to fade, and anger soon will linger.
He said WE were forever, and kissed me as we danced.
And now the love we had shared was gone in just a glance.
He said WE were forever, and toasted to our day.
We dreamt our life; talked our dreams, and now no more
To say.
He said WE were forever, and presented me as "His"
Wife. Now, I'm stripped of all I was and, my heart is
Filled with strife.
