He promised to love me always,
To hold my heart in his,
To cherish our love,
Our hope,
Our passion.

He promised to love me always,
To keep me safe from harm,
To be my guardian,
My protector,
My other.

He promised to love me always,
I entrusted my soul to him.

Without warning, he tore it out,
Offering his love to another...
My friend.

I am drained of my tears,
Silent, staring,
Remembering promises
Best left unmade.
