broken promises

Tiredness is an unhappy state of existence

The weight of responsibility

Traded for youth and tranquility

Vowed to support to no avail

Broken promises never leave you in a state of fulfillment

The consequences of a nonsense response

Is overwhelming despair c

Can’t recover from affections

When you are unaware of their existence

But if you bring it to their attention

They fail to mention a desire

To remain in the dark

Can’t light their fire

When they keep putting out the spark
