Poetry: Promises

by R. Elizabeth Love

Created on: November 05, 2009


I'll call you

I promised

To stay out of trouble

Was his promise

I never called

I had broken my promise

Trouble found him

Into trouble he went

He had broken his promise

Two broken promises

One lost life

Thousands of tears shed

One broken heart

One guiltily bruised conscious

The price for a broken promise

Is a high one

I can't afford to pay

I'll never break another promise

I promise.

In loving memory of EJ
