Broken Promises

Broken Promises

Sound bytes
The right thing to hear
Heat of the moment pledges
To be discarded , Disregarded .
Forgotten , No fear .

Temporary to fix a crisis
Short term analysis
The promises mean nothing
The clouds of strife are now a haze .
The vow thrown into illusionary fireplace to blaze .

Being Me

Oh I wish I could give this more than 5 stars! So well written!

I knew someone once who was full of broken promises. "I promise," he would say, with all the heartfelt emotion he could muster. The stance, the look in the eye, the hug... They were all there along with those sacred words. I wonder what he does with them? Where do all these broken promises go? I think he must have a huge ugly sack that he drags around with him. Every miserable broken promise is there, the shards of what should've been. No one can see this sack of course. But it is there. It is evidence for judgement day. 

Fantastic poem, Chris ??x

Good evening Garth and thank you for your kind feedback and I'm glad my write moved you , It is actually based on a TV advert in which every scenario the character says I promise , tossing a solemn word about like confetti ! Hoping your Monday has been kind to you and there are others of my works you find interesting ! Chris :)
