So Many Years Ago Poem by Pacific Hernandez

So many years ago they were
But I can vividly sense still
The way you felt but hid the pain
Of hoping but to hope in vain
That I would show up anytime
For some reasons never did I

On the sidewalk you trod alone
Hoping still that I would come
The sight of me you didn't have
Sad with frustration on you went
Till you made it to the bus stop
And home you've gone with aching heart

Those were the nights of promises
Easily broken as were said
Followed by bags of excuses
Upto the brim in emptinness
And to the midst half-filled with lies
Bitter in taste to a speechless tongue
But in silence swallowed somehow

The biggest promise I did make
I made it true and we were wed
Another vow to you I gave
That I will love you till the end

And near the end here we are now
I pray and beg for some more time
To fill the voids of my failures
And let you feel I keep the vow
Of loving you forever more
