Broken Promises and Shattered Dreams

I stood by your side through good and bad times; I comforted, loved and cared for you- Doing my best to see that, together, we would make it through But you took our vows for granted and went merrily on your way And that is why we are where we are today. You did not take us seriously and now you refuse to accept the blame That all I really got from you were broken promises and shattered dreams. When I needed you most, you were never there to give me that comfort, to show me you cared When I was feeling blue and my heart ached with so much pain, you went on life's pathway just the same, taking for granted that I would always remain Even though your words were unfruitful that they became nothing but broken promises and shattered dreams. Broken promises and shattered dreams are all that's left of us For upon you I could not depend; And for all my good, you did re-send a package wrapped in high-esteem, over laden with broken promises and shattered dreams. What I needed from you was just your love and devotion Yet what I received was great-swelling words without real emotion. You were given my love and you threw it away as if it was worthless and of no value in your "scene;" so you let it return to me as broken promises and shattered dreams. I gave you my Love; you were the apple of my eye, but you cast it to the wind and constantly made me cry. I gave you my heart, you were my everything; but you rejected it, and left me pierced and stained with memories of broken promises and shattered dreams.
