she said she’d be back soon
“hold on”
she said

im still here
still holding on

but where did you go?

he said he would help me
with whatever i need
“im here”
he said

i need help
im still holding on
where did your promise go?

did it float away on the wind
like a dandelion wish
or did you simply
forget?

i still need your help
im still waiting
still holding on
im still here
but you’ve forgotten

and i remember laughter
smiles
fun

i could use a laugh now
where are you?
i need you

all the broken promises you forgot
im still here
still waiting
i remember

…
