BROKEN PROMISES
Each time you made
a promise
Anticipation took
me to a world
Of expectation, a
world of hope
Where wishes came
true
And dreams became
real
Where there was
always something
To look forward to…..
Passing time……frequent
reminders….
But never happening….
Just putting me off….
With more words….more
hope…
Saying the right
things
At the right time
Without meaning
them…..
Yet I clung on….finding
excuses…
Wanting to believe
you…
But unable to….as
the distance
Between your words
and your actions
Kept growing….and I
realized
What is important
to me
Is not as important
to you…..
I heard the
noiseless tinkling
Of my illusions
shattering
Destroying my faith
in your promises
Hurting badly….and
finally letting go
Of my trust in your
empty words….
Afraid to hope…..afraid
to believe
In your words anymore….
