Broken promises

By Nickie

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I hate the word promise It has no meaning to me It's supposed to be a word of truth A truth I have not seen I guess I have my reasons To hate this one word It's been said to me many times But their words fly away like birds. The promises that are broken Hurt when the come from your best bud But they hurt even worse When it comes from our own blood. (family) These broken promises Came from my brother, mother and sister Those who are supposed to care the most And it hurts worse than a sore blister. Here are the promises broken to me My brother promised he wouldn't get his girlfriend pregnet before marriage My mother promised she would forgive me for my mistake, but hasn't yet My sister promised me she would stop smoking, but never has. (i couldn't make this rhyme...oh well) My life has been fucked up And i'm sorry but I try It's difficult when your family Has told you numerous lies. I know you've been lied to But these eat me through One lie has been broken for years on end (sister) But just recently broken were the other two. (mom and brother) 3-27-02 Written March 27th, 2002 © on Mar 27 2002 09:58 AM PST   18 • 0 • 10
