Muse – People and Promises

People constantly disappoint me.

They come, they make promises, then they don’t fulfill them. They might be apologetic about it, but such apologies can be very hollow when one is in need of help, but denied that which was offered initially.

Not only that, but when a string of them come waltzing through a life, constant disappointment wears down the ability to look at life with positivity. I hate to see that happen to someone, knowing there is little I can do about it.

It pisses me off. Makes me want to hit things, namely those who continue to bring a dark pall to someone who means a lot to me. They’re undoing my work, the changes that make me smile when I see them. Moreover they’re effecting a person I care deeply about, making her withdraw. Crushing what little hope she has left for things.

But I won’t give up on matters. If nothing more, I will be the sterling example, the thing that is always there, who always cares. Something reliable in a world where the majority have no regard for how important something like that can be.

Don’t make promises you can’t keep. A betrayal like that can hurt to the bone.
