Promises Made
Yesterday’s goals, dim memories.
Dark saddened eyes, blurring with tears.
Painful scars borne; Love’s history.
Futures crumble when doubt appears.
No brightly lit hope envisioned,
When following after harsh words.
Hurt soul splits in twain, partitioned.
Swooned by appeal – when numbness lured.
Apologies made, never bought.
Price paid turned out far too costly.
Though never known what would be wrought –
Must walk into the night softly.
One wish, only to be released.
Granted – now receive this token.
Words written in rhyme, love’s deceased.
When promises made . . . were broken.
