Broken Promises

I swiftly came upon the roses

of gentle bliss and sudden charm.

Their thorns cut deep into my heart

and yet I felt they meant no harm.

For how could beauty cause pain?

And how could sweetness turn sour?

And who would deem love a game?

And who could elude its strange power?

I smiled upon the dreams of past –

Mind-haunting memories of sorrow.

Eternal love which could not last

And promises so swiftly turned so hollow...
