But you promised!

Info

But you promised!

You made me believe,

That there existed a forever.

You helped me discover me,

You said I could heal.

I placed my trust in you,

You were where my heart was at.

But you promised,

You will hold me until what they call eternity.

I guess we both weren’t on the same page,

Because I am very sure,

I read it twice.

My page defined FRIEND with your exemplar.

You should have read out your definition to me,

I swear I could adapt to whatever these 6 letters meant to you.

I am sorry.

I am not what you assumed me to be,

But I am me - is that not enough?

But you promised,

That I wasn’t unlovable.

You assured me,

Made me realise I could improve me,

Why then, is this improvisation not acceptable to you?

I thought you will be proud of me.

But you promised,

You weren’t like everyone else,

And I believed you.

Hard to see, harder to believe

We should criticize beautiful words that wrap a simple idea but what an irony, we all are poets.
