Promises

I live in a time where promises aren't kept. 

People throw promises around and forget how their importance.

There are times where promises can't be kept. I understand.

I just don't hold onto promises. They are just empty words that keep piling up in my mind and heart.

I don't have time to wait for something that seems to be not there.

I've been told that I'm special, and that I'm unique.

I've been told that I deserve greatness and smiles that last.

I've been told that I will have a better future and it won't be as dark as my past.

I've been told that you cared about me, but lately you don't speak.

Please don't let this be another moment where I trusted in words that were empty and cold.
