Promises Broken

by Debbie   Oct 7, 2003


You assured me that nothing
would ever break us apart.
I believed that you wouldn't
break my heart.

Every day I spent with you
was full of loving thoughts.
Whenever you whispered those sweet words,
it always put me on the spot.

Everything was going fine;
life was going great!
I thought I had finally found love,
but I guess that will have to wait.

Before you left the house,
we both said "I love you."
I asked you "Do you really,"
and you said "Yes, I do."

Then an hour later
I was waiting at the park.
Thinking and dreaming of us together...
still seeing and feeling all the sparks.

You and your friend were riding bike
and he came up to me.
I wondered why you just looked away...
why couldn't I see??

He said "You are broken up now;
my friend doesn't like you anymore."
I acted like it wasn't a big deal...
that it had happened before.

The truth, however, was different...
I sat down and cried.
Half because I was heartbroken
and half because you lied.

You lied about our relationship
to all of yours and our friends.
You lied to me about what you told them...
I should have sensed the end.

I don't want to hear you excuses,
I only want to hear your true thoughts spoken.
I know now that all your promises
were only made to be promises broken.
