your word was your bond
or that is what I believed
when you lied to me
I knew that your promises
were nothing but empty words

Broken Promises

So many things said
Big dreams and promises made
Void of heart, they fade...
Some stay to avoid the shame
Hollow, they carry the blame
Form: Tanka


Regret

Shattered dreams and broken promises
Are all I have to show for my life
What I once perused with great ambition  
I now survive by strife.
Form: Rhyme

Past

overthinking of the past 
of the mistakes 
of the broken promises 
i would make 
dreadful days, full of pain
full of regrets 
drives me insane

Abyss

For upon this face, loves tears have walked,
Tears filled with broken promises,
tears filled With lies and betrayal, 
dripping into the dark Abyss.

Broken

Broken promises
Shattered dreams
Hope gone
Left in reality
No more dreaming for me

Feelings faded 
Tears stayed
Trust gone
Dreams left me....

Premium Member New Year's Eve

Clock ticking away
     I arrive at the party alone
          No call. No answer. No reply
               HAPPY NEW YEAR!
                    ~Broken Promises

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

Evening Reprive

night creeps in slowly silently
envelopes me in darkness like a warm blanket
hiding the brutal reality of the day 
forgiving its failures
like broken promises scattered on my empty soul

Darkness and Dreams

Darkness falls.
Oppressive dreams become-
Broken promises. Stars seem bright.

Broken Promises

you   said  you  were  gonna  take  me   to  the  movie's 
you  said  you were   gonna   take  me out  for  dinner
you    said you  were  gonna  take  me  to  the  mall
but   you     broke  your  word.

My Girl

Pain

Fear

Love

Another argument

A step closer to losing her

Help

I don't know how

Don't leave me

Broken promises

Broken hearts

Lies

My fault

Lost my love

Lost my girl

Last cord

Colours of the rainbow
appear on my wall
like dust
so much like the dreams
of yesterday
I feel like I'm seeing nothing new
My ship is coming in
on an a cloud of broken promises
Her words ring untrue

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.

Behind Those Eyes

I saw love

hiding in the walls of hatred;

Faith

behind lost hopes;

Trust

despite broken promises;

and Tears

hidden through your smile;

but still I saw You,

the real YOU

behind those eyes.

Broken Promises

I trusted you from the start.
Even when you broke my luck.
You were once my greatest friend.
Yet you betrayed me in the end.
Just know that yes you hurt me,
but I free myself from your broken promises.
I will move on.

Premium Member Again and Again

I can unsqueak a squeaky door,
I can make a great meal from scratch,
And not from a can.
And I can replace a broken ceiling fan,
But the one thing I can’t mend,
Are the broken promises I made,
Again, and again and again.

Valentine Shmalentine

Valentine Shmalentine,
 I fell in love and he broke this heart of mine.
Broken promises and sour kisses, 
shattered dreams and wishes.
I gave him my all and I got burned,
Thanks anyway Cupid but my lesson has been learned.

Liquid Pain

A
Teardrop
Liquid Pain
A broken heart
Shattered to pieces
Will bleed tears of sorrow
Dripping pieces of our souls
Memories running down our face
Broken promises have turned to lies
Wiped away with the sleeves of rejection

~The wave breaks gently, caressing over and over it strokes the rocky shore. The shore trembles wet ready but mute. The storm glowers angering the sea: back-talk leads to back hands, and the shore maudlin retreats.~
