Broken Promises Poems - Poems about Broken Promises

Broken Promises

Broken Promises are the labour pains 
that birth the words “I’m Sorry”.

Good intentions don’t ring the cash register.

Nor do they heal the wounds
that sutures have only temporarily closed.

Children of broken promises

Title: Children of Broken Promises
(25 Lines)

They signed their names in ink made of blood,
A treaty scrawled on the bones of the poor.
They shook hands under marble skies,
While cities burned in silent uproar.

Children played with bullets for toys,
Lullabies hummed in the throat of a drone.
A mother stitched hope into her shawl,
But war tore the thread and

YOU TOLD ME

You told me you could never leave
You told me you would never say goodbye
You told me you never wanted to be free
But you told me a lie—just another goodbye

Your words were empty, your promises all broken
You had me believing, but now I just cry
Your ‘I love yous’ were just lies you told”
Trying to forget but

Of Love and Loss

Why speak of love with tales so grand,
If you never learn to hold a hand?
Why make promises sweet and wide,
If you never intend to stand by their side?

Why is it truth, that only when gone,
Do we miss the light we had all along?
Is value found only in absence and pain—
Do hearts awake only in rain?

Broken Promises

I trusted you,
I let my walls down for you,
You made a fool of me,
You tore me apart.
My heart has been broken for the last time,
You were the straw that broke the camel’s back,
You never really loved me,
But you hid it so well.
You hurt my best friends,
And that hurt me too,
It took me 9 entire months,
Just

Broken Promises

I laid down here next to my restless heart
And I tossed it in the water
Made my wishes known
I will not suffer for it
To love and be loved
What's left of me, you can have it
Feast until you get your fill
Do you know what I feel?
To be your sustenance while I starved
I'll take my empty plates to

Broken promises

Promise me your hands will reach out
Resilient attachment starts in childhood
When the brain has colic outside the womb
A mother’s unconditional love soothes worries
When a birthday missed slices the cord
Like two neurons missing a connection
Like a power line cut sparking wildly
Broken wires can’t be mended by tape
Not like broken bones knitted by mitosis
Neurons grow old unable

Broken Promises

Where did it go wrong?
We made a lot of sweet promises
Weak foundation, broken soul
Endless days of torture and snoring
Now, my life is falling

The day you left I died
Vultures are still feasting on my body
We parted on a golden dawn
What a cruel world we live
I tried but her past couldn’t let her be

Why did this happen

Broken promises

Sink full of dishes 
dust covered coffee table 
nights of loneliness

Broken Promises

Promises are made only to fade quickly with broken vows that are never given a chance to be kept. 
How easily they are gathered and weathered and swept under the woven rug. 
Empty words of love are spoken to tease your heart that is bleeding and broken, 
But soon they fade into the bitter, cold

Broken Promises

Are you a person who keeps his promises or breaks them all the time
Take the one most people at New Years make to themselves after that last bottle of wine
The old saying I am a man of my word what does that really mean
How about our governments and what they claim they are going to

Not Simple Anymore

I
Fear of God was healthy for friends
The relationship was it, not ulterior ends

II
Fear of God is still widely spoken
Love of things, brings Promises broken

Broken Promises

Broken Promises one fail to keep has a
condition and oftentimes one will huff and
puff when things doesn't confirm what was
lead to expect was a result of broken promises
Ought not be eked out. One should lean towards one's  will give it one's own  best shot 
Think about others feelings, Once a child now
an adult

Broken Promises

For the broken cups,
    for the undone smiles,
    I fatally predict to ...
    slight promises...!

Promises

"Whatever happened to Paris?"
she asked
recalling the long ago
promise he'd made
After twenty years
she still did not 
possess a passport
"That was important to you?
I never knew," he replied
with a nonchalant shrug
as she picked up her pen
to sign the divorce papers
