Best Empty Promises Poems

You time my heart
Day and night
you see my innocent heart
Night and day
you think of me 
Day and night
You fill my heart
Day by day
With empty promises
You fake a smile
At night fall
When I need you the most
You fill my heart
with empty promises
I thought I was wise
Days will...

EMPTY PROMISES HE MADE

His vows on a piece of paper he wrote
It was written; I quote,
"In happiness and in sadness,
In poverty and in wealth,
In sickness and in health,
I will love you until death,
I will give you the joy you gave
to your parents at your birth."
End...

I can recall alot of empty promises you made.
And I can remember several times when you got my hopes up,
 Then crushed them like it was nothing.
These feelings I know well.
Because I always let myself fall for it.
Even though I knew what would happen.
I always...

empty promises, what do they mean? 
Empty promise, what do they say to the listener? 
Empty promises, do you ever hear them? 
Empty promises, I want no more,
Empty promises, to hear them is so very hard.. 

Apathy, so common in my world, 
Apathy, it is...

The wing of my thought is mountains of disappointments in my skull. The birds clipped their wings descending to heaven. The boulevard to my house is full of thorny grave killing my feet. The heart earthquakes every moment I think the fear of failure in...

The emptied bottle's contents                              
Are swirling down the drain 
But when tomorrow comes
She'll pay with pills...

 Your promises hold no meaning
Like old, brittle plastic they fall apart easily
I held onto them once, long ago
But now they have become nothing
Dead and meaningless
The words reverberating through my head
I want so desperately to hold onto the belief-the hope-that you’ll hold true
But you never...

Nigerian graduates,
Suffering because of unemployment,
believing in government’s empty promises.
A meaningless hope on a janus-faced entity
governing sadistically.

We came down
The mountains and passageways
We came down
In search of new days

We came down
To live life in our own way
Only to find
The same dump of decay

Dictated by many
Ruled only by one
Our only freedom
Is owning our guns 

We came down
The oceans and waterways
We came down
Like fish...

Empty promises. 
You begged me to stay. 
Told me your life was falling apart
And i was the only way. 
My hopes rose. 
I awated those words to come from your mouth. 
And now it all amounted to nothing. 
You lied again. 
Bad. 
Your broke my heart again. 
Sad. 
Now nothing to do but sit here...

Empty promises which hold on weight
Blowing aimlessly in whatever direction the winds chooses

Whispering lies and deceiving the most strongest of minds
The hollowness entangled within your lies torture the very innocence contained throughout
my dreams

Shattering every existence of hope
Launching them into an abyss of darkness 
Surrounded by...

isn't it funny how we say
'there's always tomorrow!'

when every moment of our life ahead
is like dice tossed on a board

what are the odds we live?
there is anticipation in every moment

yet we make plans for years later
we break hearts like we'd live forever

we hold back from...

You promised me the world, but only gave me the slums.

You promised me the moon and stars, but only gave me ashes.

You promised me happiness, but only gave me heartache.

You promised me love, but only gave me pain.

And when you promised to always be true,
I...

Empty promises..
You smothered me in lies..
Then you said your goodbyes.. 
A con in disguise you were..
As you lured me in your web of treachery..

You played a fools game..
As I drowned in your chess pool of madness..
Soaked to the skin in your lying web..
Hurt and betrayal...

Stop telling me it's all right 
when I know that it's not
Stop acting like everything's okay
as if I had forgot

Don't tell me this means nothing
when I know it means so much more
Don't tell me things will change
because I've heard it all before

You'll keep making empty...
