Empty Promises

SHELLY

You said everything will be alright

That I won't have to fuss or fight

That things will be smooth & hassle-free

But I think you lied to me

 

You promised if I get with you

All the bad thing I won't go through

You sold me a dream that I believed

And in my heart your words conceived 

 

I opened up my eyes and see

A life filled with disappointment & misery

Your sweet words now leave a sour taste

And I think of how much my life is a waste

 

Now I sit here trying to come to terms

Of this horrible lesson I learned

To get up everyday & face the fact

That what I gave you, I can't get back

    Heart-rending .. I wonder just how many others have been in the same situation you describe so well ..

    I suspect you have poemed one of the reasons I so often despise certain members of my own species ..

    I wish you all good things, Neville

      It's hard to not see the time we spend with someone that didn't treat us well as a waste, because inevitably we think to ourselves, "I could have been with someone else." It robs us of our peace.
