Time and time again, promises were made then broken. Would they ever be kept? Why were they even made? Would time create change? Who was I kidding? Hope quickly faded as I realized things would never change.
I had heard it all before. Over and over you said you’d give me this and that. With just a little patience, you would give me the world. Sadly, time flew by and there you left me–waiting for you to follow through but never did.
How was I to go on? to move forward? Disappointed and brokenhearted. Hopeless. How could I ever believe in you again? have faith? trust that your words still meant something? Where would we go from here?
I’m sure those of you reading this post can relate to these emotions and thoughts, after all, it’s a part of life. We may differ in culture, upbringing, and how we cope with these situations. At the end of the day, we’re all human.
No longer will I hold on to every word you say. No longer will I search for a glimmer of hope in your eyes, for now I know the truth. They’re all just empty promises.
