Promises

Promises made,
promises broken.
Never understanding,
never knowing the truth.

Cracks in my armor
give me away.
My heart breaks
a little more, each time
you break a promise.

I can't see the lie,
I continue to hope
but you see right through,
into the very core of me.

You know how to trick me,
how to always get your way.
But it can't last forever,
I can only stand so much.

One day,
I will fall apart.
One too many promises
will someday break my heart
beyond the repair of promises.
