Expired Promises

Shaken

Like a victim of Parkinson disease

He left me alone

And disoriented

My heart is cut

On this broken frame

Of our love

No longer picture perfect

He stepped into to the past

With no intention of returning

He told me he would only look forward

I didn't know promises had an expiration date

He milked my love

Now Its spoiled

His ex possessed the vital ingredients

To make his heat beat

I told him

He could start from scratch with me

He accepted the invitation

And promised not to look back

I didn't know promises had an expiration date.
