About the Poem

When one loves completely, but the love is not returned, they must bestow a most painful gift. That of letting go. For if you love someone, you will do anything you can to make them happy.

No matter how much it hurts.

Promises Made

Yesterday's goals, dim memories.
Dark saddened eyes, blurring with tears.
Painful scars borne; Love's history.
Futures crumble when doubt appears.

No brightly lit hope envisioned,
When following after harsh words.
Hurt soul splits in twain, partitioned.
Swooned by appeal - when numbness lured.

Apologies made, never bought.
Price paid turned out far too costly.
Though never known what would be wrought -
Must walk into the night softly.

One wish, only to be released.
Granted - now receive this token.
Words written in rhyme, love's deceased.
When promises made . . . were broken.

While Im reading this poem it remind me of someone I loved so dearly but my heart knows no matter how much I love him he can never be mine and even from the start I knew he was already owned by someone, until the time came I had to let him go because of too much pain that I could no longer take. This poem let me realize that it wasnt only me who suffered who became blind about love but indeed in life no matter how hard to let go of someone you trully love but knowing that special someone dont really loved you like the way you have loved him then we have to let them go.
