He promised her a garden

He promised her a rose

But all she was given was broken promises and shattered dreams

She gave him a card

She gave him some baubles

But all she was given was broken promises and shattered dreams

He said that he would call

He said that he would come see her

But all she was given was broken promises and shattered dreams

She gave him her heart

She gave him her soul

But all she was given was broken promises and shattered dreams

He gave her hope

He gave her a future

But all she was given was broken promises and shattered dreams

She wanted his time

She wanted his attention

But all she was given was broken promises and shattered dreams

He told her I'm Busy

He told her Maybe Later

But all she was given was broken promises and shattered dreams

She wanted to be loved

She wanted him to care

But all she was given was broken promises and shattered dreams

He said that he loved her

He said that he cared

But all she was given was broken promises and shattered dreams

She wanted his life

She wanted to be his wife

But all she was given was broken promises and shattered dreams

He laughed at her dreams

He told her no more

And all she was given was broken promises and shattered dreams

Posted by resistanceisfreedom 2008-03-13 17:16:09 .... the repetition of the line makes the poem so much more powerful i think. yes great poem hopefully she can find someone else who won't just give her broken promises and shattered dreams. + Report this comment
