Broken Promises

After months and months and months of not writing this, I have infact written it.

It is extremely long overdue and I don't think it be very good but I hope you all enjoy.

Broken Promises

I promised I would be there for you

But I was not.

I swore to make you happy.

But I did not.

I tried to write this poem for you.

But I could not.

Empty words.

Broken promises.

Alex sighed.

A quiet, studious person

Passing constantly unnoticed

Through the bustle of life.

Patiently he waited

And waited

A good friend, supportive

Loyal and smart.

Yet quiet, too quiet

Nobody seemed to care

About his existence

He longed for recognition

For the girl of his dreams

Yet her heart belonged to lesser people

The brash, the bold, the unkind.

And black despair rose up

A great gush of anguish

Threatening to overwhelm him

A great vast emptiness

An abyss of hopelessness

As the desolation seeps through his soul.

Yet a spark of hope flares

Fuelled by his friendship

The ones who care, who notice

The encouragers.

The ones who whisper

To take a stand, to have a voice

We’ll always be with you

Eternal and unshakable.

We’re there in the darkness

We’re there in the light

In the heart of despair

And the flowers of joy.

And Alex smiles

He has his friends and his dreams

His elegant imagination

And Necros Nightbane

And I know as a fact

That Alex won’t fall

But burst into the world

And then dazzle us all.
