benjuzzy okpuzor - Broken VOW

For this night, and
For all nights to
Come was our sworn, and
Sweetest words, but you

Left at length without
Looking back, we vowed
To it a thousand times
A day, yet it was all a

Broken vow to Valeria,
I woke to a war I knew
Nothing about, when our
Love like heaven, but

Now hurt like hell, deep
Down in my mind I plead
For your ears yet you
Weren't here, why have

Vile prevail presently
In your heart, is still
My illusion, the whole
World was once sweet

Because we were in it
Together, why then did
You vow if you are to
Bow? for how long will

I wail, and whisper to
The dark without the
One that promise me life
How long will I drive,

And drift in the land
Of dreams for one same
Hope, but remember this,
That I was there when

No one was, and yet not
Really much that was
Once given were taken
Adieu
