A Promise Is A Promise Poem by Zoe Howarth

A Promise Is A Promise



You promised you’d always trust in me,
I believed that'd always be true.
But behind that face of veracity,
You hid a different you.
Your eyes fill deep with confusion.
Your tongue breathes nothing but lies.
Your lips speak words of nothingness,
When you stare into my eyes.

Single drops of heartbreak fall,
As my fears escape your lips.
Dreams fall without warning,
And it’s just too late to fix.

Truth lies hiding behind our doors,
Veiled over by your existence.
I try breaking this sturdy door,
But am barred by another resistance.
You promised you’d always trust in me,
And I believe that'd always be true,
So you now deserve to see my broken dreams,
Cracked, on the floor, around you.

'You promised you’d always trust in me, And I believe that'd always be true, So you now deserve to see my broken dreams, Cracked, on the floor, around you.' Nicely composed and presented poem, I enjoyed it.
