Promises

Two promises made
One by her
The other by him
One to stop
Another to help

Her promise
To never do it again
To never let the lines of red
Appear
Upon her skin


His promise
To make sure hers is kept
He’ll do it himself
Gouge
Out his chest

A Promise broken
Tears fall to the
Floor
She cant see him hurt

An internal fight
Its so hard for him
A promise never
Broken
This is the first

Two promise were made
Both broken
Her scars will fade
His were never there
Thank god

    Excellent. I love the depth in the words; the fact that this just "came to me" tells me you are a hell of a poet

    Thank you for your entry
    Best of luck

    Oh..... I am sad now... And glad for the other.....
    I like this poem. Because you can sense the author's regret and sadness, yet you can also detect a sort of relief that not both were harmed.... really makes for a good poem..... I definitely like it lots.... no spelling errors, flows well, all around? Great job on this one, Shaney.
