Broken Promises
Realization comes, unbidden,
sneaking into the corners of my mind
like grave robbers into a tomb.
You have stolen my greatest treasure,
cracked open my ribs
and ripped out my heart,
and the greatest crime of all was
I never said a single word to stop you.
Yes, I loved you from the start,
that was my first mistake,
and letting you break me once
but pulling you closer to my heart,
that was my second.
I let you pour salt in my wounds
instead of dressing them up,
keeping my eyes averted from yours
and focusing on your false lips caressing my neck.
I fell for your charms, your sweet words and soft kisses,
your deep chocolate eyes and beautiful smile.
I fell like the most foolish little schoolgirl
head over heels
end over end
tears spilling from my eyes,
bruised and broken
but baby, I’ll be fine.
Yeah, I’ll finally be fine.
