your word....

 

 

 

 

The words that you speak

when we first meet

were

Full of sincerity

and sugary sweet

 

And you did your very best

to make me believe

All these  embellished fabrications

you would constantly conceive

 

but what would come to be?

from

all those wondrous tales, that you would tell to me

and,

all those glorious guarantees, you would sell to me?

Well, they became nothing more

then that tree house from my childhood

that I still am waiting for……

 

It was like you,

 painted me the most beautiful picture

and then you tore it all apart

or you

Handed me an unlit candle

when I was lost, and scared in the dark

and then you tossed me a book of matches

knowing

that none of them would spark

 

You fed me the sweetest berries

Which you forced me to devour

And then i came to learn

that all those berries were really sour

 

So now

you can take all those grand promises

and cast them out to sea

Because the honor of your word

has lost its clout with me

 

and since

all of your vows and pledges

were nothing but a fraud

now my trust in your word

has been permanently flawed

 

And

all that came to be

From all those lovely words

you once had spoke

was to have my trust betrayed

and my heart now broke

 

so please, do me a favor

- and spare me

 from any words 

you may have left to speak

because

why make me listen to another promise

that I know

you will never really keep?
