Promises

You promised it was over

That you would stay sober

Yet there you are

Stumbling back to the bar

You promised you would quit

Measuring your thighs when you sit

But you still skip those meals

Saying you like how the hunger feels

You promised you were better

No longer having to wear only sweaters

But those cuts are new

Like on paper you drew

You promised you were done

As you put down the gun

Yet you knew you couldn't be free

From the darkness that is me
