Every promise uttered
Stuck inside my throat
Passed lips that wanted to press down
And hold the words in
Knowing that there is power
In speaking things into being
And I promise are the words
I never like to say
I’ve lived too long in too many lives
Where I promise lead only to grief
To dead ends and broken hearts
To suitcases packed …
