You promised me the stars.
But what you promised was a ghost;
A last glimmer of light
journeying from something
beautiful
which had long since
collapsed.
I wrote this one a few months ago as part of a poetry challenge on Instagram. The task; to write a poem with the words 'You Promised'.

I am not simple
But I am quite ordinary
You can open me and read me like a novel
Reading between the lines was never hard for you
But you will not learn everything
You will not understand
You will not remember it
Because even I do not
Just know that I am typical
And you'll get on just fine

I see people
Heart broken
Just like I have been

I see them
I watch them cursing love
Trying to move on

You know
Why there is
All this misery?

Love
Is a healer
Only when minor

It cures the broken
Perfects a smile
And keeps you hoping

But love itself
Is not perfect
Just like you, just like me

It may leave you broken
Haunt your smile
Steal your desires

But let's not
Put the blame on love
Lets not bury it

For it deserves a chance
Like you and me
Let's keep its traces

Though
You need not to
Depend on love

For your happiness
Should lie within
You, your God and music

Be the thunder
To the stormy nights
The rainbow after a rainy day

And to me
This and only this is
The truth about love
Well,in my perspective.

i've forgotten
the painful, unexpected blow
of the harsh truth
that you're fading out
of someone's life
like an old rusty bicycle
that's full of memories
from your childhood,
left alone, forgotten
in the attic
when you got a new one.

your life is evolving without me
you're gaining
a lot of expensive vehicles
by losing
a lonely broken bicycle.

i guess my world stopped
when you left,
and your world started
the second i am gone.
i miss you, i wish i could tell you that

Its hard to mend a broken heart.

Its even harder to bring back a smile on the face of the one whose tears drown the pillow every night.
Its sadder when she doesn't know where she went wrong.
Frustrating when she doesn't know how to make it up because she has no idea how it all came crumbling down.

Its scary when she starts to think of the future you planned together.
More scary to look at the house you both picked and wished to someday in silence and hugs sit by the fire place.

Its makes her lose her mind whenever the tune you two used to dance to plays.
It makes her scream and her mind shutters.

Its impossible for the light to shine when she is left in a tunnel with unending darkness.

The final stub goes through her once tender firm but now broken heart when she thinks of another person in you arms, calling you by the same name she referred you to.


Its ever dark when you break her heart.

Depression is one of my major struggles in life.
Many times I truly want to give up on living.
It tries to hold my life prisoner, I truly struggle.
If it was not for Christ my true  Savior God.
I would already been dead and suffering in h3ll.
But I do my best to persevere, till he comes to take me home.
For he is my life, I live to serve him and follow him.
For he always in the end rescue me from death and defeat.

the sunshine carries away those last remnants of you
motes of dust filled with you ride sunbeams out my windows
will i ever see you again
i can still taste you on my lips and in my mouth
i can still feel your hand on my knee as we tried to not die
we should have taken all that love and buried it
buried it in the ground along with our hopes and dreams
we should have never smiled those smiles
and laugh those laughs

we should never have...
