You promised to see me

That cold winter day

I'm sorry sweetheart with my children I must play

Don't matter I say, that's more important than me anyway

You promised to fix it

That early spring day

I'm sorry sweetheart I have to work to be done

Don't matter I say, that's more important than me anyway

You promised to call me

That long summer day

I'm sorry sweetheart I have someone to meet

Don't matter I say, that's more important than me anyway

You promised to go with me

That crisp bright fall day

I'm sorry sweetheart I have somewhere to go

Don't matter I say, that's more important than me anyway

You promised you loved me

Make my pain go away

I'm sorry sweetheart I can't leave her

Don't matter I say, that's more important than me anyway

I died on a Tuesday

Did you ever know?

How much I loved you

And would never say no?

My funeral came

Were you there?

Did you stay?

Or was something else more important than me that day?

Posted by sTiCkFiGuRe 2008-06-03 10:21:23 .... Just to let you know. I feel really bad for taking your man, and for the record, he was at your funeral, he said they really did a nice job with your hair. ok, gotta go, he promised to meet me for lunch... been waiting three hours though... damn, another broken promise from that asshole. + Report this comment

Posted by chaabuk 2008-07-23 22:10:58 .... Awesome. Marvellous. This is the poem after my own heart. What a selfish dog that man was. He professed love but is unaware of her death and even her funeral. Wretched! + Report this comment
