Weak Promises

Gave in again to your weak promises and lies What was I thinking; what a shocking surprise One can only say I’m sorry just so much Before your apologies are forgotten as so is your touch Cruel dominating and obnoxious; remorse is vainly unseen A split personality; one loving, one an intolerable fiend My patience is thinning as my love for you sadly as well How could you not see the signs, how could you not tell? I’ve always dismissed gossip; giving you the benefit of a doubt That their perceptions were mistaken and your meanings were devout But love they say is blind and I’ve lived in darkness for far too long For what they spoke was truthfulness; I was the one who was wrong This sickening pain I feel in my heart will fade as time goes by Remembering your insensitivity and how many times you made me cry So thank you for giving me the courses on how to be isolated and alone You gave me the strength I needed to commence into the fearful unknown © Stacy Lynn Stiles
