Shattered Vows

Empty bottles, reflections in the glass,

Promises crumbled, futures don’t last.

Heart heavy, dragging like a ball and chain,

Trust got sliced, veins spill the pain.

Whispers in the night, snakes in the grass,

Every "forever" turned to smoke, burned fast.

Shattered vows, echoes in my head,

You said you'd stay, but you left instead.

Broken promises, scattered on the floor,

Heart closed now, can't trust no more.

Lies tasted sweet, poison in disguise,

Eyes said love, but the mouth told lies.

Built a castle on a fault line, shook to dust,

Loyalty’s a myth, crumbled into rust.

Every "always" tattooed in regret,

Words carved scars I’ll never forget.

Why’d you cut me deep, why’d you let me bleed?

Watered your garden, choked out by the weeds.

Now the mirror cracks, and the past won’t fade,

Buried in the rubble of the trust we made.

Shattered vows, echoes in my head,

You said you'd stay, but you left instead.

Broken promises, scattered on the floor,

Heart closed now, can't trust no more.

Tears on the track, fading into black,

Gave you my soul, but you gave it back.

No return ticket, this road don’t rewind,

Heart’s a fortress now, love left behind.
