Broken Promise

by Hannah Lizette   Feb 29, 2012


It all started with...
A shy smile,
A quiet giggle,
And a heart full of hope.

It all began with...
A few sweet words,
A "I think I'm falling for you",
And a promise to never break my heart.

It all continued with...
A "Baby, you're the one",
A little tender loving care,
And a passionate kiss goodnight.

It all ended with...
A few final words,
A tear stained pillow,
And a broken promise.

    A lovely succinct piece which manages to cleverly pack a lot of emotion into a few words.
    It speaks to me of young love, first love even as it has a kind of innocence in its simplicity and that makes the end so much more poignant somehow.
    It has a beautiful flow and rhythm and really speaks to our innermost feelings.
    Love it :)

    Broken love hurts, I hope it turned out for the better.

    5/5

  • This really captures the emotions of the beginning and the end of love perfectly. It just goes to show how foolish we cab be when it comes to love, because we believe the persuasive words they use right till the end..

    Another extrardinary poem. Adding it to my favourites.
    5/5 (:
