A Promise Turned to Ash

I held your words like fire in the night,

They warmed my soul, they burned so bright.

But every spark must fade away,

Now only shadows choose to stay.

I gave you trust, I gave my time,

But you turned truth into a lie.

A promise turned to ash,

Falling through my hands.

Everything we built,

Is dust upon the sand.

You swore forever, but forever couldn’t last,

Now I’m holding a promise turned to ash.

Your gentle touch became a blade,

A thousand scars that never fade.

Your sweetest smile was painted glass,

It broke my heart; it cut so fast.

I gave you love, I gave my soul,

But your betrayal took it all.

A promise turned to ash,

Falling through my hands.

Everything we built,

Is dust upon the sand.

You swore forever, but forever couldn’t last,

Now I’m holding a promise turned to ash.

I won’t be broken, I won’t be chained,

I’ll rise much stronger from the pain.

Your fire’s gone, it lost its flame,

I won’t bow down to lies again.

A promise turned to ash,

Scattered by the wind.

The fire that betrayed me

Will never burn again.

You swore forever, but forever’s in the past,

Now I’m free from a promise turned to ash.

If someday you recall my name,

Don’t hide behind your mask of shame.

The lies you told will fade in time,

But not the truth that once was mine.

I gave you love, I gave my soul,

But now I’ve learned to let it go.

A promise turned to ash,

Falling from your hand.

The fire that deceived me

It is buried in the sand.

You swore forever, but forever couldn’t last,

Now I’m stronger from a promise turned to ash.
