broken promises.

When a promise is meant to be kept,
and all the secrets you left
keep unravelling as three years have come to pass
where were you when I needed you the most?
I know nine hours away from me with your hidden truths
which lay in front of me like a pile of bloodied roses
you were supposed to be there for me like i was for you
Broken promises, tattered lines which broke at the seams
you played me for a fool
brainwashing and manipulation were your boyfriends
i was 18, a young naive firm believer of love
three years later i'm still a believer and a dreamer
but i'm not a little girl anymore.
i can handle more than you ever could.
i am capable of more than you ever will be.
.......
all i wanted was for you to love me back
little did i know, he wanted that from you too.
people wanted what you were incapable of giving.
i wonder if you've changed because
I know I have, and I do with every breath I take.
.....
you're a broken promise.
