Broken Promises

You promised.

you promised we'd grow old together-

that we'd build a home in forever-

we’d travel the world...

that we’d build foundations to rival ideals.

You promised-

the skies and all that's beyond,

you promised eternity

to love, cherish and hold.

You promised me pocketfuls of promised dreams

Since when did promises become verbal abuse filled fields?

Since when did promises cause tears to bleed?

You promised
