You carried With you Shiny promises Of who you were Who You would be Beautiful promises That didn’t tell The full story. Your words Echoed gentle At first Pretty promises Shimmered to perfection. But words are only As strong As the person Speaking them My heart echoes No Stone left unturned, No promise left Intact. The promises you Had polished so neatly Shined to perfection You threw to the ground Shattering my heart Like a fragile glass. No stone left unturned, No promise left intact. The words echoed Like a record on repeat. Your pretty promises Brought nothing but pain And heartbreak. As the words echoed No Stone left unturned, No promise Left intact.
