Promises Made

Promises made, promises broken
The love you gave, was only a token

A small price to pay, a big dividend
I bet you thought it would never end

But as days turned to years
And hope turned to fears

I had to face the pain
Which brought a quiet refrain

From the Love so bold
That turned, oh so cold

Now it's all gone
This love that was all wrong

That lasted way too long
Like verses, in a bad country song

So now that it's over, I marvel at me
And the marvelous changes in me, I see

My years were not wasted, with you after all
Lessons learned, each time, I stood up from a fall

Life goes on, as changes occur
As we all keep searching for happily ever after

And sometimes Promises made, promises spoken
Can bring about healing, for a Heart that is Broken.
