promise

what i found
downtown
in your heart
was a start

where we went
it was grand
to a place
a faraway land

what i needed
tucked under
what became
the biggest blunder

suddenly found
torn asunder

what i found
below ground
a towering frown
a solemn town

a filled balloon
cheerfully alone
saline sadness
with a blank tone

the music played
the balloons swayed
strings frayed
up and away

tomorrow's promise
on its way

and i believed it
a thousand times
and would again
i would...
