Promises Kept
Promises made.
Mine kept.
Yours forever broken.
Second chances given.
Learned to keep,
my heart locked tight.
Guarded with torches
of fire lit lanterns.
Black tarry pits around it.
Shielded from your,
broken promises.
Second chances.
I no longer have the
energy to try.
You told me forever.
I so foolish.
A woman scorned from
past loves.
Trusting you was easy.
My soul, my heart, my spirit
given freely.
You took them all.
Threw me into the pits
of hell.
