Promises Of Love Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Promises of love...
Who's gonna give it and who gets it.
Those promises of love...
Who's left to wait for the benefit.
A promise to be loved...
With lots of it that will not quit.
Is just a promise.
A promise from one not honest.

If it isn't there prepared to give...
Just where is it.
If,
It isn't there...
Where does one get it?
With a promise of a love that comes...
When none of it has before been done.

Those promises of love...
Who's left to wait for the benefit.
A promise to be loved...
With lots of it that will not quit.
Is just a promise.
A promise from one not honest.

Promises of love...
Who's gonna give it and who gets it.
Those promises of love...
Who's left to wait for the benefit.
Awaiting to be loved,
By someone promising to give it...
Is just a promise.
And promises of love aren't honest.

Promises of love...
Who's gonna give it and who gets it.
Those promises of love...
Aren't very honest,
If it isn't there to give!
