A Yorkshire Poet Poet Free verse

You Do Not Wear That For Fun

You said that you would
You promised me
Like you said that you’d change
Another lie to me

You said it was a mistake 
You said that you’d honour me
You promised me faith
Faith, like I give to thee

What about them
They’re your kids you see
What promises can you give
What stability to live
What love can you give 

What about those photos
What about that ring
You don’t wear that for fun
There’s meaning built in…

You bastard
You promised me.
