Broken

Promises are a lie


 


Are only created to justify


Only secretly in one’s mind


That they are not living a lie


And can make another one blind


 


Promises make you cry


 


If broken can offer heartbreak


The greatest, intense pain


Presentation phony and fake


Foolish feeling and ashamed


 


Promises always die


 


Should never, ever be made


Right from the very start


One can feel totally betrayed


And this can rip a beautiful heart

Completely and eloquently written in truth. The words you penned I have lived and I'm not the only one obviously. Great poem. Thanks for composing it. Deborah

All a heart can do is say:
"Please Do Not Tell Me A Lie To Spare My Feelings In The Truth, I am worthy to know & of value-even if it hurts me".
Love & Hugs To You

Excellent write...so very emotionallly charged...but, believe it or not, some promises...from the right people...are fulfilled no matter the cost...so never give up hope that there is still some innocence, some purity in this tired old world...
May only the brightest of light shine upon you, M'Lady,
Jim

So true about this. People shouldn't make promises that they cannot keep. It would be a lie.

So very true...but we cannot live without them either...even though they can hurt badly when broken!!

Been there too many times ..gave up count..I promise!!

It's very true promises not keep
can only break a heart!
The best thing is never make promises
You know deep in your heart you can't keep
Because it will destroy that persons heart!!
Excellent chosen words and beautifully conveyed
And beautifully written!
Love Peace and hugssss...Morning Star

The truth in a promise is how long it lasts, very nice.

Promises, promises the proof is always in the pudding! It is in what people do. First you must learn to trust and believe in yourself....

Oh my, four years with a lass who claimed to only ever be faithful to the man she loved. Four years of flying to NY, then to find out on a poetry site, she had loved another all along, and well you can guess, but last Xmas with her over there I kinda knew, least she has a great new tv, duvets, money to free her from debts. But I hear this is the American way.
Last time I take a lass at face value, even if she claims to be a perfect catholic...LOL, how daft am I

I agree with Barbara....we must be careful what we promise. I have always maintained the attitude that I will not promise unless I know I can deliver. It helps when one is able to maintain this form of thinking. Great writer, very heartfelt indeed!

Smiles,
Dorothy
Reviewed by Barbara Smith 11/28/2007
Staci, you are repeating what I've always said, "Be careful what you promise because if you can't keep that promise someone heart will be hurt." I, in fact, wrote wrote a short story about broken promises...broken promises lives in one's mind forever. An excellent write.
Reviewed by Regis Auffray 11/27/2007
You make some very valid points in your verses here, Staci. You are right. Broken promises leave open wounds that never truly heal. Thank you. Love and best wishes to you,

Regis
Reviewed by Rose Rideout 11/27/2007
Yes indeed Staci, broken promises can tear apart a heart and therefore shouldn't be made so easily, as Christine says one should really think before making a promise, but do remember dear they are always broken some are made from the heart and are carried out.

Newfie Hugs, Rose

Broken promises can hurt,, one should think before they promise.

Broken promises - probably something we've all sadly experienced at times in our lives - and how shattering they can be.
Reviewed by Jerry Bolton (Reader) 11/27/2007
On the whole, you're probably right about promises easily made, but difficult to maintain . . .

Heartbreaking write, Staci; hope you are okay!

Very well penned sadness; brava!

you must have had much experience with broken promises-it reminds me of the movie, "Radio Flyer" in which Tom Hanks' character tells his boys that the most important words you'll ever say are "I Promise"
