Broken Promises
I trusted you, I let my walls down for you, You made a fool of me, You tore me apart. My heart has been broken for the last time, You were the straw that broke the camel’s back, You never really loved me, But you hid it so well. You hurt my best friends, And that hurt me too, It took me 9 entire months, Just...

Broken Promises
I laid down here next to my restless heart And I tossed it in the water Made my wishes known I will not suffer for it To love and be loved What's left of me, you can have it Feast until you get your fill Do you know what I feel? To be your sustenance while I starved I'll take my empty plates to...

Broken promises
Promise me your hands will reach out Resilient attachment starts in childhood When the brain has colic outside the womb A mother’s unconditional love soothes worries When a birthday missed slices the cord Like two neurons missing a connection Like a power line cut sparking wildly Broken wires can’t be mended by tape Not like broken bones knitted by mitosis Neurons grow old unable...

Where did it go wrong? We made a lot of sweet promises Weak foundation, broken soul Endless days of torture and snoring Now, my life is falling The day you left I died Vultures are still feasting on my body We parted on a golden dawn What a cruel world we live I tried but her past couldn’t let her be Why did this happen...

Broken Promises
Promises are made only to fade quickly with broken vows that are never given a chance to be kept. How easily they are gathered and weathered and swept under the woven rug. Empty words of love are spoken to tease your heart that is bleeding and broken, But soon they fade into the bitter, cold...

Are you a person who keeps his promises or breaks them all the time Take the one most people at New Years make to themselves after that last bottle of wine The old saying I am a man of my word what does that really mean How about our governments and what they claim they are going to...

Have you forgotten what it was? Have you lost what we could be? Too many broken promises you’ve given. Too many of us lost needlessly. Perhaps under a different sky they’d still be here? Perhaps with a different voice love never would have disappeared? With all your words, where was the truth? With all your promises where are the deeds? Why does the...

Broken Promises
A single window, like a child’s nail, broken with the swing of a bat. An accident, you mutter, to the old woman whose nose almost reaches her chin. She never liked children, never wanted any of her own. She can’t relate to their music, their clothes or their attitude. She blames all children for taking away her husband. He...
