Afraid to try again

I am a victim of too many broken promises

I am jaded, and too afraid to try again

I am on the brink of another broken promise and I do not know where I will find the strength to move on

He came with a lot of promises and full of hope

I begged him to let me be and make no more promises, but he wouldn’t listen

Now, once again, I am on the verge of another broken promise

Oh, when will I learn that promises are mere words?

When will I learn to stop being gullible?

Where will I find the strength to move on?

I am so afraid to try again

I cannot do this anymore

There is complete blackout out there but even more darkness in my heart

I am lying awake staring into my bedroom ceiling and wondering how to move on but I am so afraid to try again
