Apologies All Sound The Same

Will try to catch up tomorrow
If not I will drop you a line
I have heard this all before
Its been said time after time

Another one of his let downs
Later he will try to explain
Saying his week was busy
Apologies all sound the same

Am I the last thing on his mind
It seemed that way to me
Another promise is broken
I receive yet another apology

Each one repeats like an echo
Apologies sent with regrets
What was he trying to justify
When I am the one he forgets

Oh Hope, I hope that things aren't as
bad as they sound


You've been through enough,
and you deserve better


Much better


Hugs, Richy

Hey thanks Richy for your caring reply .... the hugs felt nice too , if you read my previous poem titled " Showing No  Obvious Sign " no matter how far my heart shall slide , I'll put on a brave face and hang onto my pride

Hugs Hope

Dear Hope, you describe it so well that it hurts the reader too ...
You are too beautiful inside and outside to dwell in pain for one who always apologies ...
May the wings grow again on your heart.
Love and hugs. Margherita

good write...and when someone gives me an excuse for breaking a promise, I am always reminded of the following classic quote:

"An excuse is simply a lie...wrapped in the skin of laziness"
