“He promised to assemble every pieces of my broken heart,
He swore to erase every lingering memories of my previous heartbreaks,
He told me he would bring life into my dead heart,
He promised me forever,
Too good to be true?
I believed without thinking”
It was all diamonds and pearls,
Rose petals and red candles,
Champagne and nights out,
Cuddles and kisses,
Love like no other,
It was overwhelming to say the least,
I haven't felt loved,
He really kept to his promises, yet.
At some point it started to feel rocky,
I started to question his love,
“maybe I was over thinking, maybe this was how he showed his love, at least he promised”
I kept on making excuses for him,
But,
There were lipstick stains that weren't mine,
He reeked of perfumes that I never used,
I didn't ask because 'I was over thinking',
How oblivious I became.
He answered all my 'over thinking' thoughts,
It all crumbled,
When I saw him tangled up with another woman,
In a bed we called 'ours',
I was rocked,
I was right all along,
I was shattered into a billion pieces,
This was the forever he promised.
