The Promise

This is about a broken hearted person, addressing his/her former love about some sort of promise, a promise that the other could not keep.

I trusted the will of fire 

In situations most dire

True love brings everything

Then fades to nothing

My angel promised happiness

She's given only sadness

How long do you plan this charade

Stop ruining my parade

I promised you everything

Everything love could bring

You turned your back, walked away

Leaving me in dismay

Give me a try

before you say goodbye

That's the least you could do 

After all I've done for you

The promise once held

Now only pain is felt

I thought you were the one

I guess we really are done

Remember my name, you'll hear it again

Every now and then

It'll call to you in the night, young Miss

Reminding you of the broken promise

Author's Note

I actually don't know what kind of poem this is, so bear with me. I wrote this a long time ago. I just wanted it to rhyme. When I wrote this I was in a bad place, I wanted to get my emotions out. This is also the first poem I wrote that didn't involve it being graded by a school. What do you guys think of it? Please any review will be much appreciated. Also, if someone can tell me what kind of poem or what it's closest to, that would be greatly appreciated as well.

Rhyme can be tedious, for sure. I always find it a good exercise, though, just for the sake of creativity- so hats off to you for making it work!

I do like poems that feel as if the author is confiding in his pen. Thank you for sharing :)
