Promises

There was a day
Made special and important
Reflecting now back at us
In which we made solemn
Our intentions
Defined us, the nature
Of our togetherness
We molded our souls
By our combined will
Passion to exist
As one entity
United against the world

All was said in vain
All was laid to strain
And after all
What did we attain
Between the moments
Each breath exhaled
Making empty the words
Fraught with frost
Grappling now with
Empty ghosts
Pushed into the storm
Vague memories
Holding back the world
Alone
