You promised you’d always trust in me, <br />I believed that'd always be true. <br />But behind that face of veracity, <br />You hid a different you. <br />Your eyes fill deep with confusion. <br />Your tongue breathes nothing but lies. <br />Your lips speak words of nothingness, <br />When you stare into my eyes. <br /> <br />Single drops of heartbreak fall, <br />As my fears escape your lips. <br />Dreams fall without warning, <br />And it’s just too late to fix. <br /> <br />Truth lies hiding behind our doors, <br />Veiled over by your existence. <br />I try breaking this sturdy door, <br />But am barred by another resistance. <br />You promised you’d always trust in me, <br />And I believe that'd always be true, <br />So you now deserve to see my broken dreams, <br />Cracked, on the floor, around you.<br /><br />Zoe Howarth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-promise-is-a-promise/
