Broken promise

You said you would never hurt me.
You gave me your word.
You said you would never do that.
But that's not what I heard.

I trusted you.
I expected better.
But all your actions
Have only left me bitter.

How could you do such a thing?
Does my care mean nothing to you?
I don't recognize you anymore.
I don't know what to do.

I thought you were different.
But you proved me a fool.
Though you said you wouldn't,
You broke all of the rules.

I can't even stand to look at you now.
I just feel utterly broken.
Because you gave me hope,
Then went against every word you have ever spoken.

So don't expect me to smile at you.
I won't even look your way.
Don't come back making promises,
Because I won't believe a word you say.

I tried so hard,
To mend what I broke.
And I still wonder if it was my fault,
That your never again spoke.

I don't know what went wrong.
It's a huge mess now.
I would fix all of this,
I only I knew how.

Though all of this hurts me bad,
I'm not going to cry.
I'm simply going to turn away
And say goodbye.

This poem is for someone out there. I obviously can't mention who. The person will probably not read this,
But if they do:

You know who you are and what promise you broke. And I'm sorry it had to come to this but we're through.
