Dawn is a Broken Promise

Dawn is a Broken Promise

A Poem by Sophie

It is not twilight,

not dusk,

nor midnight,

the saddest time of day,

is dawn.


Yes, the birds may start their song,

and maybe the crickets chirp along,

maybe the sun begins to rise,

but that's just it, dawn is a broken promise.


“Tomorrow's a new day,

tomorrow will be better,”

Dawn

proves you wrong,

She fools you

with birdsong,

and a small, pitiful sun.

Dawn is the start of a day,

when you are forced to remember

everything you tried to forget,

everything you regret.


Night is better,

the stars peek out,

and you dwell in dreams

in which you have

no memories.


Dawn is a lie,

a broken promise,

don't let her fool you.

Join the night.

I like the way you made dawn seem like the opening of sadness. Most people see a new day filled with opportunity. I understand the desire of the poem. When the mind wander to sad times and memories. Allow the birth of a new day to reopen pain. I like the night also. Seem like there is more energy and hope. Thank you for the outstanding poem.
