Best Broken Promises Poems


Premium Member On Waves of Broken Promises
I dared to chase that elusive butterfly
of love until he landed in my heart.
Caught up in wondrous fascination,
I placed my trust on its fragile wings
but they crumbled all around me
in broken promises lying on the ground.

I was betrayed by my heartless butterfly,
used like a pawn...

Broken Promises
Promises, Promises...boldy broken
I spite these words when hastily spoken
The act pledged is almost never the issue
  it's the scanning of priorties...somehow they missed you!!
You would never have held breath and waited
  But the promiser spoke, declaritively stated...
"I will..."  "We'll Go...." "Real soon..."...

I want to write you a love note
for the entire universe to see

But the love I had for you is gone
It came out of me like a river of blood

Yesterday I saw forever in your eyes 
Today all I see is broken promises 

If I...

Broken Promises
On a clear blue sky

Two doves fly, sadly unpaired

Broken hearted love....

Broken Promises
Putting on my rings
my hand reached past the one 
I was looking for to the ones 
Pillowed softly in the back

I gently touched them
Then without emotion take them out
And slipped them on my finger

Memories went through my mind
Like a silent movie 

The delight I had...

Broken Promises
Broken promises are all I ever get
 My feelings don't count when your mind is set
 Broken promises you keep throwing my way.
 Broken promises always seem to ruin my day
 I hold on to hope that you will change 
 Other people think my...

Broken Promises



They say that a promise is
A comfort to a fool.

To a child a broken
promise is the biggest
disappointment they

will ever experience so
do not make promises to them
that you don't intend to keep.

To a lover a broken promise
is a trust gone astray!

To a mother from a...

Broken Promises of This Year
Hello New Year
I heard you'd be comin soon
At midnight I waited 
Standing under the sparkles and gleamers of hope
Counting down the mistakes of 2011 
Counting up the calories of a resolution
Better luck next time 2013
Here's to you weight watchers
I guess I didn't do so good...

~The wave breaks
gently, caressing
over and over
it strokes
the rocky shore.
The shore
trembles
wet
ready
but mute.
The storm
glowers
angering the sea:
back-talk
leads to back
hands,
and the shore
maudlin
retreats.~...

My heart was pounding,
My breath catching,
I saw you sitting there.

You looked my way,
Our eyes kissed,
I was already falling.

You took me home,
You gave me roses,
The smell of your cologne.

My perfume,
Permiating our senses,
The warmth I felt.

Our lips met,
My mouth smiled,
I was sure .

You showed me patience,
I showed...

Fear of God was healthy for friends
The relationship was it, not ulterior ends

Love of things, brings Promises broken...

The King of My Domain
As the king of my domain
I feel like I'm going insane
When the chapters of my life just pass me on by
Can't figure out why
When I live each chapter with plenty of laughter
None of it fit like a good mitt
This is when we must admit
Forever love...

A Minute Love
This love of irrevocable 
Hold I sent it from empyrean beyond
Nightfall calls stars upon the welkin
My love! Glimpse higher and higher
Preeminent stars which of paragon sheens us
Come nigh clasps for a spell
Scintillating planetoid effulgences and watch us
Afar the intoning troubadour of nightangle bides in earnest...
