Delayed And Hollow Promises. A Poem

I thought there was hope
That what he once promised
Would come true
But now that hope has sunk
I will spare you
The boat reference.
Oops too late.
Since it's been said.

I am honest with myself
I wanted the help
He once mentioned
The projects he would do
Fixing my blinds
And putting together
Some exercise equipment.
Not to mention some stuff
That my car needed.

As much as I reached out
And he made a plan
Which he then broke
The other things
That he talked about doing
Camping and sailing
How I longed for adventure
His reneging time
And time again
Is not worth the<b> anxiety
</font></b>And aggravation.

So now I see little benefit
In even keeping
Up communicating.
His sporadic replies
Of how he is still interested
How he still wants me again
They are hollow promises.
That I should move on from.
Which is getting easier
With each passing day.

At this point I am
Going to pay
A mechanic and
A handyman
To do the projects
He had said
To him would be
A piece of cake.
Although I hate to spend
My money on such things
When I need a new computer
As mine just died.
The camping and sailing
Will have to also wait.
Delay, delay, delay
Is a sad refrain
That just means
I am denied.
Well ain't that
The story of my life.

 Seems like he wants his cake and eat it too.
It's no wonder that you're feeling let down.
What other excuses will he be giving you?
You're much better off without this clown.
