Broken Promises Poem by Elizabeth Grace

Broken Promises



I can't tear you out of me
no matter how many times
I take razor wire to your memory
I am haunted
Are you happy?

I'm sick of hurting
knowing that it's
not going to be worth it
I have yet to realize
you're never coming back

I thought forever meant something
more than broken promises
and half-hearted lies
I thought forever meant
until the day I die

I didn't think friendship
could be so fragile
I guess that we were both
so broken, that together we couldn't
even pretend to form a whole

I am trying so hard to
be okay without you
but I can't keep you out of my dreams
and I can't tear your smile
from underneath my eyelids

I don't know where to go
because you were where I was safe
and now I'm lost
broken and beaten, bruised and
consumed by the elements
