Broken Promises

You were ten and I was one

You saw me as your own

You taught me how to laugh 

Loved me though I was half 

You fed me and starved 

In my heart love you carved

Taught me how to ride a bike

And pretty my hair girl like

Time passed seasons changed

My love for you remained unchanged

You still let me win every fight

You still call me your light 

One day I saw the love change 

Every word you spoke felt strange 

I saw you becoming a stranger

Together you and the strange her

You didn't ease my pain

I pleaded with you in vain

I cried my heart out for you 

And what did you do

You left me in the dark alone

Why did you wish me gone

You started building a wall

You didn't care I was naive and small

You broke every promise with a lie

O brother why did you let me die

Unknown

Faces in the dark
Shadows in the park
Whispers in the wood
The silent neighborhood
The Eerie hallways
The closed doorways
Soothsayer with the bird
Woman with a curse word
The night sky with a tale
The half complete trail
The soulless body
The nameless somebody
Some prayers answered
Life going backwards
Birth, death and knots
Tears, laughs and what not
Some mystifies, some scares
Some unheard, some unseen
But most remain unknown.

How do some people whom we have known since birth and loved above all become strangers one day...
