Untitled (1).A Poem by Tiarra TempletonI guess this poem is about change. The loss of a good friendship/relationship that I previously had. Realizing you've given way too much for someone who didn't deserve it. It's old.
Two simple promises held us both together
We chased away fear with the warm summer weather Unable to change, but too hard to let go Sometimes the things left unsaid are what makes us grow The trees grew their out leaves and we grew apart You played out your life on the strings of my heart Time went by slow, but our lives went by fast So suddenly the present turned into the past There were words etched in stone and sealed with our lips But they got lost at sea and hit it's floor's sunken ships You forgot how to talk and I forgot how to smile We were found guilty without a right to fair trial I still made my wishes and found none had come true Staring through broken glass of a bright icy blue The summer sun made a cure for a cold winter ache Counting one thousand stars and watching our promises break When the time came we spoke, but we were so out of tune I was falling through hell while you were roping the moon For you I tried to smile, but I had still forgotten how And we're left with nothing but two broken promises now. © 2010 Tiarra Templeton |
