Pretty Promise (Lie) by Sarie

Over and over again I’ll trip
Over your pretty lies
That you disguise as a promise
Laced with the thought of bliss

Whispers toned with smiles
Told the pretty promises
Of what you’ll do for me
All fake; but I didn’t see

Along his way to save me
He lost his shining way:
My crimson knight
And left me without a smiling light
