A promise broken..
You can’t wish it away
You can’t just make it disappear
like it never happened
We ignore our gut feelings
because we want to see the good
We ignore the truth
because we think it keeps us safe
But after all is said and done
what will we ever do with all this pain?
I’ve known all along.
