157. An Ex's Word Is Easily Broken

Rating: 3.3


An ex's word is easily broken
as lie tumble from their lips
so untrue is everything they've spoken
falsehoods even spilling from their hips

But when it's all found out
and deception is broken
how dishonourable do they now seem
trust was been shattered
into a thousand fragments
many to be lost to the winds
not to be repaired on this occasion

Even when forgiveness is considered
to let all the lies be in the past
one thing should never be forgotten
and that is a simple truth

An ex's word is easily broken
they're not together so they will conceal the true facts
ignore almost every word that they are speaking
until they can at last prove without a doubt
that their word can actually hold solid once more

Nicely done~ and very true. I've many times heard from a vlogger I watch on youtube (bronze goddess) that trust is like a brick wall. Once it's been torn down it has to be built up again brick by brick. Many exes expect forgiveness to be complete if/when you take them back and that kind of thinking is fatal. To both them and the one who takes them back. If they thought like the speaker of this poem however, then at least they'd be prepared for another fallacy. Still, who wants to be with someone they cant even trust. Meh...i'm blabbering on now, but it is a very thought provoking piece. Well done :) ~Nika
