The promises You wept

The Promises You Wept
By: Know Now

Is it your pleas
That I loathe?
You weep and
Wail as you cling to my legs
Pleading with
Your hazel eyes.

Your cheek
Meets my knees as
You drop to yours
And wail
As if you’re praying to
God.

Is it the lies that you cover
In promises
That I despise?
You whisper your promises
Like a prayer that’s heard,
But not answered.

Your words are slathered in honey
And swarm with bees.
A poison sweet mouth you
Carry.
I’m jealous.

I answer your prayers
With promises in return.
I quiet your weeps and sobs,
Wondering
Why my words are not made
Of tar yet coated in sugar.

I drop to my knees with you,
Wiping the tears of your cheeks
And any that remain glossing
Your beautiful hazel eyes.

Your promises are nothing
But lies, yet I indulge in them.
