Renege

When the heart is hopeless 
Everything around feels so restless.
A promise is like a ray of light
That soothes the heart,shining bright.
A promise made,is an eternal vow
Nothing against it,the heart feels to know.
It makes one feel on top of the world
With blessings, one stands strong and bold.
When promises seem false and broken
The words hurt and split,once spoken. 
The heart fills with grief and sorrow 
The pain is deep,no one can borrow.
The hopeful heart breaks into pieces 
All one dreams,at once,ceases.
The heart cannot accept the truth 
That was a mistake of hopeful youth.
The glow and shine vanish at once
There remains no courage to take another chance.
Life seems to end with a broken heart 
Everything seems puzzled... from where to start?
