PROMISES

 

 

Promises
Like broken dreams
Lie shattered
Torn apart
By a grim realization of
False realities.


For a short time
I opened my Heart...
My soul
To a person I loved.


I learned to trust you
In a way I had no other
The price of which was...
My Pride.


I turned to you with all my attention
Forgetting my dearest of friends
The price of which was...
My Self-respect.


For a brief period in Eden,
A small taste of what I
So desperately wanted...
Needed
The price I paid was...
My Heart.
