Broken Vows

sketch
                        of love
                     pastel blue
                 vows were untrue
you stole my heart then walked out of my life
         left me all alone, a rejected wife
                  You told me lies
                        alibis
                       sorrow
                         pain
                        heart
                      mending
                  from the ache
                  no pretending
         no 'happily ever after ending'
