Broken Promise To a Lost Love

A promise of trust is broken
A hidden heart revealed.
A love has blown away in the wind.
A secret no longer concealed. 
I was promised everything one could want
But that promise has gone astray.
The one I thought was my true love
Apparently didn’t feel the same way.
But that’s ok I understand
I have no choice but to heal with time.
But I can no longer call you my love
Because you were never truly mine.
My pain is genuine
Although your feelings for me were not.
In time I guess you’ll find your true love
And I’ll be the one you forgot.
Heartbreak is a cruel teacher
That’s something I’ve had to find out
Since you’re something she needs to survive
I’m something you’ll have to do without.
