A promise is a promise

A promise is a promise

A Poem by Orlando Murcia

 

 

After the hung over grief

 

that kept me sober through roaming streets

 

 

 

After the dissolution of confussion

 

from inebriated illusion

 

 

 

After eyelids became wet lips

 

from salivated burdens to closed curtains

 

 

 

There was a ripped artery in my pulse of heat

 

that may only be cured through one soultion

 

 

 

 

 

The cure was to say goodbye

 

to your diamond emerald colored eyes

 

 

 

To say farewell to your smile

 

that obviously blinds

 

 

 

It was to say never more

 

to your enchanted offspring galore

 

 

 

It was to say

 

 

Never again

 

 

 

forever more

 

 

 

forever more

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But then....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I thought about the promise I made you

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The promise to love you

 

when all false becomes true

 

 

 

 

If needed

 

 

 

 

Change the old wine skin

 

then replace it with new

 

 

 

 

I will forgive you with all of my tears

 

let you know I'm still here

 

 

then continue loving you from here on

 

to the upcoming years

 

 

 

 

 

For breaking this promise to you

 

 

would be worst

 

 

than anything you could ever do
