As you grow and wonder why it all seems <br />That the way ahead is the way of your dreams. <br />To make this happen and your wishes come true <br />There’s only one person and that person is you. <br />Until the day your lover you meet <br />Who promises the world to lay down at your feet. <br />They promise security car kids and home <br />And with them by your side you'll not be alone. <br />Then one day the rot it will start <br />With a nagging pain in the pit of your heart. <br />You know what I mean by the things they have missed <br />To you special things to them just a list. <br />These broken promises get bigger each time <br />And by way of apology they feed you a line. <br />It means nothing to them promises un-kept <br />But for you your dreams away they have swept. <br />To recover from this sometimes takes years <br />But you without them dreams won’t end in tears.<br /><br />Paul WilsonSuffield<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/promises-broken-2/
