Promise

Don't let go
is what you asked of me
what you made me promise
and so im holding on
as tight as i can
I can feel you slipping from my grasp
slinking away with my sanity
but I wont let go.
Because I promised.
And so im holding on
as tight as i can
and ignoring the pain
ignoring the truth
that maybe youre not slipping
youre pulling away
and you'll leave me holding on
to nothing but an empty promise
