No Stone Unturned, No Promise Intact

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.
