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
