Beneath Empty Promises

She screamed in the silence, heart split in two, Wounds he ignored, though he once swore them true. Her hands begged for shelter, her voice shook the air, But he turned away, he just wasn’t there. Eyes once so gentle now cold as stone, She fought for them both, but she fought alone. Love isn’t love when it walks away slow, When the one who should catch you just let’s you go.
