BROKEN PROMISES AND SHATTERED DREAMS

Broken promises and shattered dreams,
Pain of every kind,
As far back as I remember,
With no end yet in sight.

 

Surrounded by those who hate me,
And those who could care less,
The hope inside me dieing,
Its lifeline growing dim.

 

I used to want companionship,
Now it's reduced to want of peace,
The deathly silent peace of solitude,

Safe from those who cause my pain.

 

So I wait for the day to come,
When I no longer feel anything,
The bitter memories taken from me,
Of broken promises and shattered dreams.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

one of my very few freeverse poems, it may not ryme but I think it flows rather nice
