Broken Promises! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar

Broken Promises!

Rating: 4.6


Promises lay broken like the toy broken forever
Only heard in echoes were the sobs breaking in air.

Promises were the seeds that were sowed on ones heart
When it was the time to reap they pulled their words back.

The harvest was sold and profits were booked
Everything was done at the cost of ones trust.

Promises are the words that flows freely anywhere
They cannot be trusted though they are written deep in ones heart.

It was mere a game to play with ones heart
Where each breath cried on being fooled in life.

While standing in front of mirror they smile back through the broken pieces
One cannot forget the words that pierced the knife in ones heart!

Trust enlightens inner spirit. Broken promises bring pain and agony whether in real life or in dream. Echos break in air and we hear them in inner heart. Very mind-blowing drafting of this poem with interesting imagery makes this special. EXCELLENT WORK.10

Trust is most fragile and most precious thing to break. It is done so easily with broken promises. Takes a long time to recover and to build and create new trust in life. Very apt poem with some beautiful lines. Thanks for sharing Geetha!
