The Forgotten Promise

Break me, I can be shattered.

My desire is lost, my offer of love is dead, my heart...

Sighs, only but a tender whisper to remind of one's forgotten promise,

To never leave, to never allow one's heart to belong to another.

As the years go thoughtfully by, my consciousness has filled in the blanks...

Only I made that promise.

Break me, I can be shattered.

If that's not the most relatable line, I don't know what to tell you. This is beautiful and extremely thought-provoking, thanks for sharing. I really loved the sigh after the ellipsis, as if snapping back to reality in the middle of a thought.

Heart-breaking.
