Broken Promise

The time has come to say our goodbyes

Departing in different directions

I am sorry to break that promise

I can no longer justify what we had

Will you forgive me now it's over?

When I fail to ever remain sober?

Wrapped in a blanket of lies

Sent off to protect this guise

I had become so attached

Distancing myself to gain clarity

Tearing away was the hardest

Left me strained and slow to recover

This secret I take to the grave

As I can no longer be saved

Let us never cross paths again

For I will break in shame
