Broken Promises

Promises are made only to fade quickly with broken vows that are never given a chance to be kept. How easily they are gathered and weathered and swept under the woven rug. Empty words of love are spoken to tease your heart that is bleeding and broken, But soon they fade into the bitter, cold night, in hopes of finding a place to lay down and die without a fight. When your tears subside and you find your way out of the foggy haze, you step into denials' search for better days...only to find yourself looking for someone to blame for all your heart ache and shame. In the shattered mirror left hanging on the wall...you are left to come to a realization...and you spend the rest of your life protecting your broken heart. Rb
