Broken Promises Poem by Brendon Langeveldt

It appears that everything I say
keeps on fading away,
like the words that I speak
has no substance and they're weak.

Seems that the promises I make
becomes the promises I break,
and your heart follows suit
though happiness is hard to fake.

I keep saying that I will,
that I can, that I must,
I keep building up your hopes
and then betraying all your trust.

Now I feel like an idiot
doing what I can,
trying hard to climb, but
stepping on my own hands.

I know you tell me that you love me,
and I feel the same way too,
so it really hurts to see
all the pain I put you through.

I have difficulty sleeping
coz my thoughts keep me awake,
so I gotta grab the bat
look up and face the plate.

However many strikes I get
I know I can't give up,
I have to stand and face the pitch,
this might be the warm up.

So now I made a decision
that becomes my life's mission
I'm standing by my word
and have no more...
