From Promises to Lies

by Bridgette   May 14, 2006


You told me you'd protect me
Save me from all hurt and pain
You said you'd always be there
That you'd never leave me again

Your promises are nothing to me
But a mere waste of words
So you can save your breath
And leave unsaid words unheard

I'll never let myself forgive you
And forget all that you've done
You played your game well
And now you have finally won

Many tears have been shed
Over all the words you said
But I'm letting go of the past
And trying my best to look ahead.

**This is for a person whom I have lost all respect for because of the way he has talked about me when he promised if anything ever happened, he wouldn't.

    I'm sorry that you had to endure that kind of pain. No one should have to go through that. There are a lot of emotions in this writing and its very good. Keep up the good work.

    Very expressive strong peice of writing, the content is clear and powerful with some great expresion and the structure and flow very good.

    though everyone else seems to like the 2nd stanza i found it slightly weaker than the rest, it's final line seems to disrupt the flow slightly. but as others praised you upon it I am not sure if this may just be the way i read things or something...

    anyway great peice.

    5/5

    This is a very good poem, much emotions involved, raw. Greatly written, great format once again. A subject i'm sure many can relate to on their own level, i know i can. great job 5/5
