Mary Taylor Poet Rhyme

Broken Promise

You promised me 
again today
That you wouldn't
be led astray
From the truths that 
You know to be right
But each time it happens 
It ends in a fight

You've promised me 
So many things before
But each one has been broken
and then dropped upon the floor
Each time you say your sorry
Each time I want to believe 
Each time I give in
And I grant you reprieve

Your promise to me
Nolonger has meaning
Each broken promise
Has been truly demeaning
Each broken promise
Has broken our trust
And in the end of it all
I will do what I must.
