Promises Lost

A Child is born
talented and gifted
full of hope
A Promise 

A Vow is made
a gift of tomorrow
love that lasts
A Promise

A contract is signed
ambition and nerves
hope for something
A Promise

A Friendship is formed
touched by laughter
shared experience
plans for fun
A Promise

The Child falters
The Vows are broken
The Contract torn
The Friendship shattered

Promises broken
laying on the floor
like shards of glass

Sharp, painful,
Destructive
Hopeless

A Promise is broken
no hope of repair
A covenant mocked
complete despair

  1. heartfelt and unfortunately something we all have to deal with at one time or another..the hard part is not losing faith in yourself and the people you meet afterwards..but if you do keep faith you find good people..
