Promises (Rondel)

 

making promises she can’t keep

she still hears voices in her head

echoing all the things she said

she’s given up on counting sheep

 

tells herself lies to help her sleep

with all those self-help books she’s read

making promises she can’t keep

she still hears voices in her head

 

depressing thoughts are running deep

she makes a different choice instead

some medication by the bed

as softly she begins to weep  

making promises she can’t keep
