Broken Promises
So many promises and so many words
none of which you kept,
none of them had worth.
Who were you trying to fool,
who where you trying play,
don’t you know that in the end
you’ll be caught up in your own game.
Why can’t you see past your ego,
past you idealistic fantasies
and realize that what you throwing away
will be a life long tragedy?
How could you say:”thanks for being in my life,
I love you so much, I can’t say it enough,
you’re the one who keeps me going
and I love you with all my heart”
and now, “my feelings have changed and your not enough”?
You toyed with my emotions and took them for granted
all the love I was giving. I gave you all of me, my soul included
because I believed in us and you’re telling me it’s all gone.
So what do I do with this? How can you be so cold?
Why did you perpetrate this lie?
What did I do to deserve this emptiness in my life?
One thing is very clear, your idea of love is infirmed
and of a very thin veneer, it’s destructively vain.
You pass it around like its prize but it only causes pain.
You are vainglorious and spoiled and the day will come
when you will reap what you have sown
giving the devil a body of one.

A couple of writes from a place in time on one of the more painful aspects of the human condition In that these are as hard on the readers emotions as they are of the writers is a testament to the writer. All hope that time is a healer

"your idea of love is infirmed" is spot on. Describes many self serving cretins. Another powerful piece.

These pieces are true to life soul, written during a very hard time as a way to exorcise the hurt. Thank you again for reading and commenting.

The first poem of this topic I've read lately that I could connect with. Reminded me of certain split paths I've since grown from. as Manson said, "cut the head off, grows back hard" (the song's the wrong topic, but yeah.)
We always rise stronger... and hopefully, estranged emotion-nazis grow a pair.

I am glad that you connected with this piece, I did not want to make it one of those woe is me pieces that are so sappy you feel ill. Instead, you love you lose but learn and you grow strong. Thank you for your comment.
