Promises With-Held

The promises I had from you
Were today,
Shed to pieces!
In the desolate bleakness of my mind
I contemplated...
What could have been
If for those promises
Which have been ripped to shreds
Before my very eyes.
The door closes upon our future;
Leaving only
The soft flow of your past promises
To seeps through my memories!
Slowly sifting through,
Each I move,
With the most tender touch
Of biting blind-
The unknown.
Promises flock
Once more to the fore of my mind,
As I sit
On the day of our wedding with Wait-
On our own
Forever, by myself-
Without the promise of tine together,
Without children warmth s-s-SAFETY
Never to fulfil the simple promise of doting goodness as wife and mother:
Never never
NEVER...
and your promises to me,
Faded now they have become
On the parchment-
That was to be witness of our life together!
A binding contract
Of promises,
Some might say
Which sew two devout families into a fiery mess:
The unreturned promise of devotion
Enveloped me
In it's Shadow,
And from within
I saw the light go out in the eyes of our Lord's statue!
And-
Away from me you walked,
Not once did you dwell on the Promises with which you destroyed my Life!
You left me scarred,
And all for PROMISES
Unknown to me.
