I've intended
to hold
my promise
until the very
end.

No excuses
No apologies
No screamings in the night
No cryings in the bedroom
Nor tissues on the nighttable,
wet with our tears
No broken vases on the floor
or blood in the sink of our bathroom
No front doors slamming
No footsteps leaving
No hearts breaking.

But you've intended
to break
your promise
from the beginning.
Now...

There were only excuses left
with no apologies
There were no screamings
Only wet tears on my cheeks
and tissues in the trash can
There were no broken vases
Only withering roses in them
and a trickle of blood in my finger
The front door is closed
No footsteps to rouse me
My heart is breaking
in silence.

Promises
are made to be
broken
indeed.
