Domino Vows

Like dominoes the vows did fall
Till there was nothing left at all ---
Promises and vows you never meant to keep
Constantly haunt me and keep me from sleep.

Wayward ways from yesterday
Have turned your world around.
And visions of tomorrow
Are nowhere to be found.

Late night hideaways
Hide secrets by the score
But morning light will find you
Back knocking at my door.

But broken hearted lovers
Don't make the best of friends
And when a heart can hurt no more
Even friendship finds an end.
  
Broken vows and promises
Have a certain way
Of coming back to haunt you ---
And true love flies away

Love sure can ruin many things. It can end friendships and it can even end relationships with family members. And, if we are not careful, it can ruin our own lives, as well. Really great writing, Jake!...Thank you for the great comments. I am really enjoying PoetrySoup! I have had more success that I thought I would. And, I have made some new friends, too!
