A Broken Promise


Out of my dream, you came as a 
vision blinding my sight.
You looked so graceful and pleasing 
to my heart’s delight.
Your presence was calming to my 
mood whenever you were around.
Your voice was soothing, like a 
gentle evening breeze with hardly 
any sound.

Our love was simple and easygoing,
In every corner of our hearts,
 contentment and happiness were 
overflowing,
Ours was a tale of true love, profound 
and divine,
We used to share this tale because 
it was ours, yes, yours and mine.

In each other's embrace, we were
spellbound,
In the depths of our Souls, our love 
was entwined and bound.
Through life's hardships, our love 
stood firm and always remained intact,
And with mutual understanding and
patience, we knew how to react.

In gentle whispers, sweet words were
spoken,
A promise made, now broken,
It seems that none of those things 
had any value cause now, you say 
they didn't matter,
I believed and trusted in your endless 
chatter , and now my heart is 
completely shattered.

Time shows no mercy to lovers 
For in a single moment,
It shatters two hearts and ruins 
two lives.

The deeper we fall the harder the break, this is really a sad ending dear Zyrool, sometimes one person feels more then the other, when that happens its bound to end. :(

This is a very fine poem of broken romance. Who said, "Is it to be better to have loved an lost, then to never have loved at all?". This poem reminds me of that saying.

Hello Zyrool , a promise broken to the other person hurts. It takes time to heal. Then it takes time to trust. It will take time to trust. Enjoy your evening my friend. /Darlene/
