Your Promises Were Just a Smoke Screen

I was a clear sky My expectations on you were too high You were my bright little Sun Who just came to have some fun Your sugar coated words Flew far away like birds You pretended to be my light And turned my life into a dark night Now, crowded with black browed cloud I still say that'I love you' crying out aloud Your presence was treasured in my life But all that you did was stabbed me like a knife You showered me with all your love What made you betray me now?

I feel the pain and the love in this expressive piece. Kind of a mix of emotions all swirling around to form such a delightful read. Well done and welcome to poetrysoup. I've been gone about 12 year and glad to be back. I look forward to more work from you!! Well done..

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you.
