You promised

You promised me that you would always be here.
You said that you would always care about me.
But now, when i need you most where are you. You're gone, into thin air.
You said you would never go away.
You swore you would never get angry.
Ineed you here now so that i can cry into you warm flannel shirt.
If you were never to go away maybe we can be happy again. But we can't.
You are a liar.
You promised me you would never go.
Why did you have to die?
I miss you so much.
