Yet another revamp of an older poem I wrote a few years back. Enjoy!

You gave me your word,
I gave you my heart,
Now I don't know
Where to start.

Remember when we met
For the first?
And how we kissed,
Eyes closed, lips pursed?

I thought we could
keep this going.
That our love would
keep on growing.

You gave me a promise
that you would stay.
Hold me tight, see
me each day.

But broke your oath,
hurting me deep.
And now you're gone
I haven't much to keep.

Now all I have
Is a shattered heart,
My love of life
(but only part)

And an unforgivable
broken promise,
That somehow reminds me
Of our last kiss

its amazing what one single word can do.

Powerful write.  Many promises our broken in our lifetime, but the ones that matter most will last forever.  Never forget that.
