Writing Prompt: June 18 - "“Clouds cover the skies, rain pulls at your eyes, but nothing hurts as much as little words turned lies'"

Instructions: Use this stanza as a part of or inspiration for a poem

Little words turned lies

Words that easily would have been kept

The lack of difficulty in the expectation you set

Makes the disappointment greater

I didn't ask you to promise

You volunteered that to me

Then apparently forgot that anything was mentioned

But I remembered and hoped

I knew better than to trust

How many times before?

But you were serious this time - no, really

Except you weren't

You think it's enough

To adhere to the big things

The once a year blowout things

But I'd prefer that the little words had truth and dependability.
