I watched love break
But did it ever really exist?

I don’t remember a time
When they didn’t fight
When hate didn’t seep
Into every crack in our home
Poisoning them and me

They’d made a promise
And they broke it
Just like they broke their hearts

A fairytale gone wrong

And now I’m scared
Scared I’ll end up like them
Scared my home will always be broken

I’m terrified of commitment
Terrified of promises
Because I know
I might break them too

Because promises
Aren’t always forever
