Some say sparkles are nice,
Yet I don't want to be them.
They fly up the air and become nothing.
You say you hear enough;
All sunsets are false omens.
Evening after evening,
You've hoped I would change,
But I...
I abused your love.
It may be hard to believe,
But as often as I could think,
I'm hoping I don't give you empty cups.
You hear enough;
You don't want any more excuses,
"I'm getting tired...
Of reading your work,
And go over
The same issue again.
If you loved me...
You would-
You would have shown me by now.
I wished I had
The strength to fight with you again,
But I'm getting hurt
That you never seem to keep your promises."
Please don't go...
How much
I wish I would had changed
Before regrets
Hit on my door.
But it's too late,
For you...
You won't ever look back.
And I'm all alone,
Writing all these fantasy,
But it all means
Nothing causes you left...
Left me an empty heart,
A broken heart...

//I get the inspiration from I not keeping some of the promises to my parents... I can feel the hurt I made there. Though this is a love poem, it carries the same msg.

Wow,Eliza,this is such a well written piece of work on such a difficult subject.You know,
so many find it so hard to put themselves in another's shoes,to see from the perspective of the "other side".It's not an easy thing to do,especially when there is the possibilty of seeing that you are wrong.This,I think,is why so many deny the "other side"...can be very painful seeing
your own mistakes,and too many have so much pride that they choose not to "see" their frailty and admit it.You did an excellent job here,and not just the writing.

Peace to you,Geoffrey

Eliza~
This is just a beautifully done piece with the 'twist'~

Understanding that sometimes we make promises that we are unable to keep ... it doesn't make us failures ... but often shows us how to refocus so that we can include the expectations of others without losing our own goals~

I think they call it 'compromise' ... and sometimes it's a difficult proposition to reach~

It is vastly important that each of us 'do' in life that which makes us happy~
Most often those who love us the most don't realize how important it is to us ... and we simply must make them understand the reasons we continue to reach for the stars of our own twinkling~

You are very talented and I truly hope for you that you can reach an understanding with your parents as to their expectations of you and your goals~

This is a beautifully penned piece from the heart.
You've expressed these thoughts and feelings
very well, and I enjoyed reading this.
So nice to see you posting again.
