False Promises

They say it, over and over again, and you believe it, because you so desperately want to believe. That seems to be the only silver lining on the grey clouds covering your life today.
Sometimes in your moments alone, you wonder though, you question yourself, but they promised, of course they promised, they must have meant it, else why would they say it.

They ‘ve kept their promises in the past, or you have conveniently forgotten the ones they did not. So you only have good precedence to fall back on.

Tried gambling? It goes the same way, you start by winning and the promise of bigger win.

You believe, you try to believe, you want to believe . . . . . .

Alas, gods too have feet of clay, and they too belie promises.
