Empty Promises

I believed in you, and
followed your steps.
I was blinded by love,
and deep drowned in faith.
Only now, I realised that,
I'm just a player,
in your game of misfortune -
a pawn to your throne,
am nothing but a thorn,
underneath your feet.
You had forgotten,
that I had a name,
and I had a dream,
together we could have,
achieved and conquered,
all the heights.
Instead, you have given me -
empty promises, and a life
full of despair and insecurities.
