Broken Promises

Where do broken promises go?
Are they tucked away in boxes and
Arranged in neat little rows?

Promises fulfilled color life anew,
Flourishing as a garden does grow,
Their beauty inspiring us to forget
All the shattered ones buried below —

So where do broken promises go?
Do we really ever need to know?
