Broken Like Your Promises

Folder: 
My Broken Heart

I feel like I was duped,

tricked into saying my vows

when you haven't kept yours.

 

I've been checked out for months

trying to find a way out that

doesn't result in being alone again. 

 

It's like you don't care I'm unhappy

as I cry myself to sleep most nights

wishing things were different. 

 

I feel crushed in every way,

destroyed by your apathy

and broken like your promises.
