Broken Promise

Honey I said i wouldn’t

I know I promised

But we both know I’m not that strong

And in a moment alone

A moment of weakness

I break as easily as the promise

They say that "promises are made to be broken". So again they say that "it's better not to promise something which you cannot fulfill."

The voice in this poem has mixed emotions:
1. regret- that the relationship won't stay longer because he/she's weak
2. sorry- for the addressee of this poem, that he/she has broken her promise easily
3. hope- for what the addressee would respond into her confession to finish the mixed emotions.

I have a good read in this short write. Well-penned!

I like the short poems. I feel like they have more power and give room for the readers interpretation. Very powerful.

This poem reflects the vulnerability in each one of us. We break promises we meant to keep, we say things we wish we could take back. This poem shows a beauty in imperfection.

You are at least honest in saying what you actually are.
You are not pretending.
The partner will decide at his own risk.
Thanks for sharing.

~a mystery of a promise broken-
what a great piece of expression-
you leave the audience wanting-
-but not wanting at the same time~
~i think this is just perfect!~ :)

I Love it.... I'm glad to not know what promise was broken, so as not to judge on that alone in my own biased version of what I have seen in my own life when it comes to relationships of others. Beginning to end, this poem is adorably sweet!! : ) ...and to Italicize the last line? Love it!! It's as if you are crooking your head to one side and possibly biting your lip. : ) xoxo -Mark

I guess i kept the promise ambiguous if you like so that anyone can relate their own story/promise and personal experiences to it :) Glad you liked it! Thanks xx
