Poetry: Broken promises

by Sami R

Created on: July 30, 2009

Promises aren't meant to be broken

You promised me you would change

You haven't, I still feel the pain

I listen to my Mommy cry

As you yell and tell her to die

You promised you would make it right

You would get me home

But I'm not there am I?

Why do people break promises

Especially when they say they love someone

You promised you would never leave

But you did, you walked out on your family

You promised to love my Mom and treat her like a queen

But since when do queens cry

I guess what I want to know

If you loved us why did you go

You broke every promise you ever made

Now please, just go away
