Promises (An Acrostic Poem)

Emotion filled eyes stare directly at me.....

Coaxing me to just say the words.....

Lies so casually slip from my mouth, but today,

I seem unable to articulate even the most basics of thoughts....

Persistently you goad me, over and over again....

Say the words my conscience screeches at me...

Eternal promises made under duress would never lead to longevity, so despite your desperate pleas, I turn and walk away.

Acrostic
