Forever In Your Heart

0 posted 2000-07-14 03:31 AM



You promised me forever,
Sealed with our vows and a ring,
Love was happy,meant everything,

You promised you would never hurt me,
Then you deceived and lied,
Tears wouldn't stop flowing as I cried,

You promised to love and cherrish  me,
Death do us part,
Death has come and broke my heart,

You promised to respect me,
Love me instead of lust me,
You Created a false identity,

You promised to be faithful,
I was to be your one and only,
But you broke  your testimony,

You promised sympathy,
But only caused me pain,
All for self, your self gain,

You promised to protect me,
Keep  away from danger,
You  became the danger, the stranger,

You promised to love me,
What is love to you?
Nothing I feel  is true,

You  promised,
And all these promises were broken,
Empty words you have spoken,

I promised  too,
I kept my promises to you,
Now I can't love because of you,

I am to forgive you say,
It was a mistake!
Was our love real or fake?

I am left without a clue,
Deciding what I should do,
Left with these broken promise's from you...

Romantic this is  an excellent portrayal of all the hurt feelings and confusion we are left with when a loved one breaks their promise to be faithful.  
Of course at the time the other person is not considering our feelings or the consequences of their actions...and then if things don't work out for them they have the nerve to ask for our forgiveness.
And they feel like it is our duty to forgive them...in effect putting all the responsibility on us to straighten things out again.
My ex left me for one year and three months and suddenly she decided she wanted to come back.
I told her that I didn't want her to come back...my fault..I should have filed for divorce much sooner.
She told me she had broken up with her married boyfriend...who had went back to his wife...and her and her ex boyfriend assumed she would come back to me.
I told her someone should have talked to me first because I was ready to go on with my life...and she was not included in the plans.
Sorry I wrote all this...I feel better when I talk about my situation...Hope for the best for you.  James
