Lying Promises Poem by Robin Bennett

Do not promise roses
when you can only offer weeds-
Keep your castle
my heart is surrounded by bricks
No dancing in the sun
you left me in a fog
Offers of heaven fall flat-
because of you my heart knows hell

Silence your false serenade-
I hear only love shattering
Quiet your fraudulent lies
leave me alone in silent truth-
Hallow promises-
of dreams come true
now we meet in nightmares
Ebb and wallow in tomorrow
your gift for my sorrow...
