Broken Promises

Opened the door foolishly; welcomed you home again Promising me that this time a newborn man you’ve been Your criticizing, cynical nature have vanished, left without a trace Sensitivity, kindness and compassion; characteristics now in place Anger and temperament have dissipated; this I swear to you No longer the tyrant of conflict and now know what I must do Words so easily spoken from a man who can’t bare an nth of remorse A newfound saga slowly diminishing on his self-destructive course Promises are meant to be broken and you are the champion of this Actions speak louder than vocabulary and as always a typical remiss Obnoxious, boisterous and controlling; change you have not made Assurances from a master manipulator; broken oaths of promises betrayed Aggressive approaching stature, disregarding the ones proclaiming to love Loyalty and commitment vanishing; as I pray to the Heavens’ above Lord please stop this abuse and cruelty; keep me safe and sanely sound For this troubled man will not leave me; he’s honor is not loyally profound Please provide the guidance I need to rebuild this broken soul My faithfulness is diminishing and I’m pleading to once again be whole Your child I am perpetually and the air I breathe is because of you Please my Lord remove this man, his departure is well overdue © Stacy Lynn Stiles
