Poem -
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 .

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 Being Me and thank you for your lovely words , I'm glad you enjoyed my write and am sorry you could emphasize with it as it obviously caused you distress , I love your line 'huge ugly sack that he drags around with him' - I may plagiarize that and use it in a poem lol ! Wishing you well always and hoping your week has started well XX
Hahaha... Feel free to! My week has started okay thank you... Hope yours has too x
Beautiful, I felt chills when I read this. All most like it was talking about what happing in the world at the moment.
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 :)
