Promises, Promises

I promise
Not to believe in anyone's fresh promises
Bright eyed and optimistic
Well intentioned or otherwise
I promise
Not to be swept up
By fantasies
Or dreams
By beguiling gentlemen or the ghosts of what I am looking for
(And I promise not to do the sweeping)
And inside I feel like my
Heart is the hope
Trapped under mythical lock and key
But I promise
That it will be okay
