Broken Promises That Were Never Real

Broken promises that were never real, and feelings that I no longer wish to feel Whispers into my ear, late nights in the dark, are now just sad reminders left behind by nasty scars Beautiful words that were once said only to me, then finding out that I was not the one that made you complete Arms that once held me so close that I felt as though we were one, are now just filled with emptiness of all that you have done Smiles that lingered on your then sweet face, that now I only wish to be taken away Dreams that I once longed to come true, vanished into thin air just like you Longing and aching with all my heart for just one call, now looking back you weren’t worth it at all Eyes that I thought could see into my soul, only remind me of a person I never really knew, not the one that I thought once made me whole Touches and glances and words from your heart, all betrayals that you took way too far Lies that were said to keep me in place, and tears that fell so bittersweetly down my once to you, beautiful face Pleads into the night praying that you could hear, and wishes and hopes that you would one day reappear Realizations dawning from deep within, and reminders of yesterday that I don’t want to ever think of again The breaking of my heart and the bleeding of my soul, restoring my faith in myself and finally letting you go Burning all the reminders that once reminded me of you, and retraining my mind to do what I tell it to Looking away when I want to look at you, and telling myself that you never cared and making myself believe the truth Knowing that deep down I am better off this way, without you in my life torturing me emotionally every day.
