Broken Promises

Broken Promises

So many promises and so many words

none of which you kept,

none of them had worth.

Who were you trying to fool,

who where you trying to play,

don’t you know that in the end

you’ll be caught up in your own game.

Why can’t you see past your ego,

past your idealistic fantasies

and realize that what you're throwing away

will be a life long tragedy?

How could you say:”thanks for being in my life,

I love you so much, I can’t say it enough,

you’re the one who keeps me going and 
I love you with all my heart”, and now:
“my feelings have changed and your not enough”?

You toyed with my emotions and took for granted

all the loving I was giving.

I gave you all of me, my soul included

because I believed in us 
and you’re telling me it’s all gone.

So what do I do with this? 
How can you be so cold?

Why did you perpetrate this lie,

what did I do to deserve this emptiness in my life?

One thing is very clear, your idea of love is infirmed

and of a very thin veneer, it’s destructively vain and

you pass it around like its prize but it only causes pain.

You are vainglorious and spoiled,

and the day will come when you

will reap what you have sown.
