You made a promise...

It was once common knowledge that 26 years ago
You made a pact never to let me down,
To always be there for me through-
Thick and thin, right and wrong, to never cuss a frown
Or to always help when I was down.

You made a promise to support me-
Support my choices, encourage the options
Love who I love and stand by us all.
To never let the inevitable occur
Which could possibly cause a stir.

You would love my children,
Help me help them. Cherish the moment
We share as we watched them grow old.

You made this promise 26 years ago;
Where is that promise now?
Where is the support right now?
I am blinded by the innocence you have chose.

There is no support, no love
Or loving of my child or us all.
Just self love.
Self pity.
Self,
Self, self.

That promise you made 26 years ago
Has been broken for quite sometime.
Broken by you.
