Broken Promises
A "dialogue" poem
"You promised me commitment."
"Monogamy is a crime."
"Two decades of my life. I wasted so much time."
"I know I played with your heart."
"You also played with my mind!"
"I have not been in a good, emotional, space."
"Yet, you continue to play, right in my face."
"YOU KNOW THAT I STILL LOVE YOU!"
"WHY WON'T YOU TAKE YOUR CASE!"
"You were angry all the time. You never kept your cool."
"If you paid all the bills, cooked, and cleaned, you'd be angry too."
"Whatever, that's not it. Sorry, not convinced."
"You pulled up to my house, and said, "I had no common sense."
"I didn't sleep with your friend."
"Still lying. Here we go again."
"I never cheated on you."
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
"Who do you think you are talking to?"
"Choc, I'm talking to you."
"Every time I see you, I get déjà vu."
"We had some good times."
"Yeah, mostly on my dime."
"I shared with you my fears."
"You kept me in tears."
"I'm still in love with you; in time, you will see."
"With time, I saw the truth; you NEVER CARED ABOUT ME!"
"You have my name tattooed on you; you're being pretty fake."
"I was young and dumb, and that was a mistake."
"You put EVERYONE before me, above me, and below."
"I put never others before you."
"You treated me like a hoe!"
"You manipulated me! You played with my life!"
"Never had any intentions, of making me your wife!"
"I begged you to do things with me. But, it was always something."
"All those broken promises,
just to end up with nothing."
"I don't care what you say, I treated you like a queen."
"I don't remember it that way at all; you were pompous and mean."
"Well, I guess it doesn't matter because I went and tied the knot."
"GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR FUTURE WIFE,
IN HELL IS WHERE YOU'LL ROT!"
"I JUST CAME TO CHECK ON YOU, WHY CAN'T WE ATLEAST BE FRIENDS?!"
"I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE,
DO NOT come here...again!"
