Description "I promise" is such a simple phrase
you toss about as free as air.
But do you truly understand?
Do you even really care?

You said that you would feed me
but my stomach feels empty and torn.
You said that you would clothe me
yet bitter winds embrace my naked form.
You said you would be here by my side
yet only my shadow comforts me.
You said you would heal the wound
and yet it continues to bleed.

You said you'd be my dearest friend
as you plunged the dagger in my back.
You said you'd fill my every need
but now there's only dark and lack.

And after everything that we've through
it pains me that I must admit.
That despite the painted truths you faked
you're nothing but a hypocrite.

Great poem... I like this line,

You said you would be here by my side
yet only my shadow comforts me.

for some reason it just sounds real nice to me.

Life may not always be very nice to you,
all you can do is enjoy its existance.

Very nice. This one is well crafted in the emotion and the repetition in the second stanza is brilliant. I love it. Keep up the good work.
