Promises

For better or worse

and so the lies told

to honor and cherish

to have and to hold

Promises spoken

before family and friend

a love that is forever

with no forseen end

But time holds a secret

a deception concealed

unlike other wounds

a broken heart, with time

will never heal

Happiness forsaken

words now spoken

are angry and mean

A public promise now empty

when love lacks the warmth for two

so dies the dream
