A Promised Lie Poem by Shilesha Johnson

I should've known when the promise ring cracked it was a sign
A promise never meant to be kept
Just a promised lie
A promise to never hurt me or dear break my heart
But you must've known that this wouldn't sit well
Because you've known way from the start
Broken Promises I'm used to
And not having you here will take some getting used to
I want to completely break the ring in half
But the promise is already gone
It was never a matter of If you'd hurt me
It was only a matter of how long
