You Promised Me

You promised me love

Always us against the world

Hands interlaced

You promised me a future

A white picket fence lined with daisies

Curtains open allowing in sunshine

You promised me truth

Truth is your promises shattered on the floor

Not able to last the night

You promised me the end

The end is near dear

There is nothing to do but stand in shock

You promised me love

The door swings forever shut

Love means nothing to someone who lies to themselves

[Karmee]

This is such a truthful write, so emotional too. I can feel your words.

[revalatia]

Hell yes! Very true... And seemingly so easy to pretend.. ..reminds me of the saying.. 'When all is said and done. ..More has been said than done... Bravo :)

[SleeplessVolcano]

When those promises of life turn sour, it is not easy. You have expressed such frustrating realities beautifully......

[Inject Positivity]

It is unfortunate and heartbreaking when the one whom we trusted with our heart, can't keep their promises even for a small amount of time... I know the feeling very well... It's like someone stabbing knife at your back while hugging you... A thought provoking write with a relatable topic... Superbly done...

Sincerely
Dhiman
