Promises

Goals, hopes, dreams... dim memories
Blown away with promises broken.
Dark saddened eyes. Blurred with tears.
Empty except for the painful scars love boune; loves history.

No brightly lit hope envisioned. Futures crumble when hope is lost.
Hurt souls partitioned. Swooned by appeal and haunted by past.
Numbness lured.
Apologies made, never brought.
Uncertainty swirling. Security missed; Price paid turned out to be far more costly.

One wish, for release? Of crimes or punishment.
Words written, spoken, promises made.
Promises broken.
