“Promises are made to be broken,”
this is what you tell yourself,
only to put yourself
in a good light.
“I’ll always be there for you.”
Well, where are you now?
“You’re the only one for me.”
Like hell!
“I love you.”
A terrible, terrible lie.
“I’ll never let anyone hurt you.”
Well this one’s true in a way,
since you’ve hurt me
more than anyone else ever can.
You never kept any of your promises,
while I hung on every little word
that ever escaped from your lips.
There’s something I’ve got to confess though.
I broke a promise too.
I said I’ll never love anyone
more than I do you,
but guess what,
when I least expected it,
when I hit my lows real bad,
I fell in love!
I’m surprised too.
I never thought that it could ever happen,
but it did.
I fell in love with myself, you see.
And I’m sorry, but I’m not sorry
for breaking this one promise.

Just me 
You’re the first person you should have fell in love with, you would be hard not to fall for with a heart like yours. One must love themself before loving someone else because you can’t give yourself to someone if you don’t believe in yourself.❤️. Someone not willing to love someone who’s willing to give all their love isn’t worthy of being liked let alone acknowledged. It takes strength and convection to break away from chains of entrapment and love the person that matters the most❤️. You didn’t break a promise, you endorsed a previous one and made it better. And promises aren’t made to be broken, that’s what hearts are for. But if promises are kept, hearts aren’t wept.🌹

I agree. I should have loved myself first then, I would have known how I deserved to be treated and wouldn’t have tolerated all that shit. I agree and thank you. Thank for getting me and my poems like no one else does. 🙂

This one hit me the hardest. I love the way you include conversations and the blunt replies after that. It’s something I love to do as well, but this piece hit the chords perfectly. I hope you’re doing okay and I hope you keep letting it out with your pieces. ❤❤
