Unkept Promises

You beat her fragile soul

Yet you told her no more

You acted like nothing was wrong

As she cowered on the floor

A promise meant nothing

A field of beauty

Of wildflowers and dreams

Her dreams shattered

By your words of

Unkept promises

A thousand times embedded

Within her brain

She hears those word

Of a thousand

Unkept promises

Spoken word poetry

I have to put this here as one of my best pieces ~ Why? Because a beautiful friend and amazing writer/poet, read “Unkept Promises”…Not only did she read this poem but she videoed her spoken word poetry of my piece!!!

Promises kept or “Unkept”

The year’s of sexual and violent trauma, I mean years ~aged 9 until aged 21! Years of Promises and unkept promises.

I promise you’ll wish you were never born.

Yes, these words were a regular during my time growing up.

I won’t do it again, it’ll never happen again.

This too, was an everyday occurrence (These were the words of Unkept promises)
