Solemn Promise

When love was blossoming
and the world was washed new
you promised to me,
you would always be true
And as loves hue
deepened and grew
you promised to me,
I was the only one for you
We laughed and we sang
to the music our hearts made
and you promised to me,
your love would never fade
and as the sun set 
in the beauty of the glade
you promised to me,
your heart had never strayed
I believed all the promises
to be solemn and true
at the time they were spoken
so gentle and new
but time has diminished
your promises to lies
like the blossom in winter,
my heart silently dies.

It's sad how people throw love away with their lies. I like the expressive nature of this poem. I like the closing similie. Thank you for sharing this one with us and for your kind comments on my poem. Keep on writing. Have a good day! Karen
