Timothy Mcguire Poet Free verse

You Promised Forever

You promised me
You would love
Me forever
You didn't

You promised me
To always be
Faithful
You weren't 

You promised me
We would
Become one
We didn't 

You promised me 
It was until
Death do us part
It wasn't

I promised you
Flowers every day
They look beautiful
On your grave

Gershon Wolf June 1, 2020 at 6:11 PM Love the irony and the smirk of that last stanza, Tim. Sounds like justice was served with those flowers. Take care, Gershon Timothy Mcguire June 1, 2020 at 7:47 PM You got it Gershon, thanks!
