This poem is supposed to have a specific format, but since I seem to lack the mental capcity, this is how its going to stay.

You Promised

You stare at me with your hate filled eyes

I shake at the thought

That you have lied.

Your shouts and screams begin to blur

Why are you doing this?!

You promised me!

I had just awaken from a nightmare

And of course, you were right there

You asked me of my frightening dream

As tears flowed down my face in a steady stream

“It was you, you hated me and your eyes wished for my demise.”

You shook your head

“I would never wish for your death.”

I, being stubborn, thought you were lying

“Then why didn’t you help when my feelings were dying?”

Suddenly, you smiled at me.

Was there something you knew I couldn’t see?

My brow furrowed trying to understand.

Your eyes told me everything

And they soon had me smiling

Your eyes promised me you would never do that sort of thing.

The months continued on

And our trust in one another grew.

We grin in the rain while lying on your lawn

Knowing that nothing could possibly go wrong

But of as everyone knows, happiness is never meant to last.

I had accidentally caused you pain

And that is when your anger came.

Your harsh voice began to crescendo

As an old fear of mine began to grow.

Soon enough, there was an angered bite in your voice.

I begin to doubt my trusting choice.

You hit me and push me to the ground.

I knew this would happened

I thought darkly and frowned.

So here we are

Tears and rain running down my face

I sob a quiet reminder, “You promised me…”

You look like you have been hit with a mace

I don’t move and you get up from where you sat

You mumble ‘I’m sorry’ and run off just like that.

…Why did you promise something you couldn’t keep?
