Broken Promises

there is nothing that hurts 
more than broken promises
it hurts deep into the quick
sometimes its so bad that 
you really do get sick

i keep thinking  that things will change
and my life for him i rearrange
and i let my hopes fly
but i find out soon enough 
that its still the same
and all i can do is cry and call his name

ive been hurt so many times
i dont know how i,ll pull through
but i get up dust myself off 
and then i think of you

Once again, simple wording yields good descriptiveness and rhyming. However, it would be a good idea to change each "you" to "I" and "your" to "my". In this poem, it is your own feelings you are describing and not feelings of somebody else.
