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
