Broken Word

your word was your bond
or that is what I believed
when you lied to me
I knew that your promises
were nothing but empty words

Congratulations on your win. I enjoyed reading. Your "Broken Word" is short yet a very powerful write. This late into life, if one breaks a promise, then I am done. Been there way tooooo many times. Have a blessed day with your win..........

So easy to make hollow promises that break like fine porcelain.
