Forked Tongue

Broke your promise

Hissing with forked tongue of snake

You slithered away.

Do You Promise?

Tell me you'll stay

Then kiss me goodbye

Meaningless words

Cowardly lies

Dark disappointment

Hardening hearts

Love's not enough

Trust isn't smart

Love everlasting

Disappeared fast

Together forever

Our time has passed

Relationship De-Evolution

In the beginning,

love conquered all,

dreams were always

in reach,

mirrors reflected true.

Broken promises

and shattered hearts

did not exist.

Now

that's all there is

here

at

the

end.

Goodbye.

Taken

You said you'd, "take such good care of me".

Instead you broke my heart.

Shattered

My delicately woven glassware orb

fragmented into shards that

pierce hope, stab dreams

blood dripping from fingertips

breaks the silence-

it is all the more painful knowing

it could never be what it was

again

Broken Promises

You promised to get better

You said that you would stop

But you didn't

I know you didn't

I saw you yesterday

I saw the powder

I saw the straw

So why did you lie

You Get Used to It:

Thank God I have no expectations

of anybody keeping their word.

Not anymore.

Otherwise, I might be 

very disappointed.

Never Leave Me.

You were my shadow.

You said you'd never leave my side.

You stayed with me during the good times.

You left me alone in the darkness.

How Could You?

If you promised me forever,

Why did you kiss her

With more passion

Than you ever did with me?

Waiting At The Window.

To count the times you didn't make it, 

I'd run out of numbers. 

Yet, I still wait. 

Any expectation is an expectation too many. 

Yet, I continuously put my faith in you. 

Promise after promise.
