Counting Sheep

We make promises we cannot keep
To pass the time
Like counting sheep;
Every night
and
Every day
Different obstacles are
 thrown our way
Those long lost words
We promised each other
Are whisked away in the wind
Tangled in one other
Becoming once was
And never were's;
It's a stupid game
We try to play
because;
There are some promises you cannot keep
But we make them to occupy time
Like counting sheep
