OF BROKEN PROMISES

Pieces is all i have left
Of what was a fairy tale

You came and blew me off my feet
Not realistically
But you made my heart beat race
Your smooth words slippery
And fall i eventually did
In love with you.

Cinderella I was
With a combination of snow white
The first time you touched my lips
I thought my life would cease to be
In your arms I melted
And before long
I lived for you

You made promises beautiful and big
Times I thought you just a dreamer
You always knew what to say
To keep me locked in the spell you'd made
My tears you never allowed to fall
You loved me too much
At least that's what you said

My life to you I had betrothed
No one else stood a chance
Suitors came from far and wide
My back to them I always turned
I had my man and he was my soul mate
If only fairy tales were true

I saw you holding hands
But my hand it was not
I saw kiss my lips
But tingly feeling was not in me
I saw you smile
Only not at me
I felt my heart break
As a sword you plunged in it

I waited for you to come
For an explanation from you
My eyes were red from tears
My heart ached,i thought id die

Come you did,
With a glow about you
My eyes told you something
You chose not to interfere
I asked quietly of she
Who seemed at home in your arms
A friend you said she is
And on your way you were

The next time you came I was gone
I was in love but no fool
Call me selfish but share you I cannot
One man,one woman
That was God's plan

The promises you made now shattered
I go through them and my heart keeps breaking
A castle in the air I had built
Now I watch it tumbling down
I wish you hadn't made me believe you
Then maybe this wouldn't hurt so bad...

FRIENDSHIP LOST

Today I take a walk
Down Memory Lane
As images flash in my mind
Of what used to be.

I can hear your laughter
That laughter that was contagious
I find myself smiling
The effect you had still there

A few more steps and tears
Not understanding why you're no more
Not departed for the land of no return
Just gone from my life

I try to think and question
No answers i find easily
Like a gray area or matter
No clear explanations

One day you were
The next you were gone
Leaving in to wonder and wander
Holding on to the memories of yesterday

I reached a stop and sat
Remembering the long days and slow nights
Life without you was a dread
With time,the wounds healed

The scars though still remain
A reminder of what was but is no more
I wish I could turn back the hands of time
Then maybe my friend you'd still be.

I stand and continue with my walk
Realizing reality knew you not
I picked a flower along the way
Threw it in the air with a blown kiss

You were once a part of me
You left without a trace
In my heart a room you have
In my life forever lost...
