True(ly) Promises.

True(ly) Promises.

A Poem by C.J.G.
"

Those promises...

"
He promises me promises worth gold,
Even diamonds.
He tells me tales of pure beauty,
Even glory. 
He gives gifts that take up my entire world,
Even his. 

These promises of gold are sincere,
Until he decides they are too valuable to give away.
These tales of beauty are of the utmost magnificence,
Until the ugly truth slips out of his deceitful lips.
These gifts that encompass my entire world are of such magnitude,
Until their real size is exposed through his deceptive eyes.

If only his sincerity was truly sincere.
If only his value was truly valuable.
If only his magnificence was truly magnificent. 
And if only his entire world
Included me.

This is sad, but the words of emotion are there. A well written write.

If *smiles..if only could all our if's could be real..yet they are only expectations..expecting could be the most toxic part in a relationship eating up your essence cause the entire word smells so strongly of dependency..yet life is all about learning..
i am very impressed by your calm skill over the poem..you have a great understanding of your emotion and words and do not get over whelmed by it..your formatting is the strong point.You should go for more complex themes and words...i know you will be great with it.

Wow, I really like this one. Each stanza is a step towards the realization of the true nature of him and your relationship with him. Very well written. I liked the middle stanza.
