Shattered Or Complete Promises

Easily broken They are nonetheless said The verses of it spilling freely Like a beautiful melody From one’s lips. To trust this So sweet to one’s ears Is painless. But lacking doubt A promise is loved. On behalf of the owner: Easy to neglect. Fragile, delicate Like a swan Though words limit its reliability One will nod and believe Hoping this promise is indeed fulfilled. Collecting dust Or being accomplished A promise Should not be counted upon, For it is on the brink Of breaking Or surviving. Second thoughts are welcome.
