'the Unreal of Real Life'
Her instinct was to run
as fast as she could...
Her feet started to move,
Slowly at first, gradually faster,
But then she bumped into something
A wall,
layered with promises,
unfulfilled ones
one by one
she delved into them…
NUMBER ONE said,
“I will always love you”,
In little pieces it crumbled to the floor
NUMBER TWO had the words,
“Our love will last forever “,
Now scattered
NUMBER THREE echoed the words,
I would never hurt you,
a promise so fragile
NUMBER FOUR
“We’re in this together”,
totally distorted...
When she got to
layer NUMBER FIVE
a single tear
slipped from her eye
because there she saw
an image of who she was
Before his empty promises
And all she hoped for was
One last chance to be
“That woman again!!...
One last try
To fix the broken pieces
Before his footprints
Demolished everything
she was before him..
