A Promise, To Keep

Blurred sights, clarity remains Rebelliousness nonexistent, sometimes a ray Associations a downfall, leading astray Numbness soothing, until panic soars Attendance to depart, ensuring departure. Unsteady legs, balanced steps A poured escape, drowning in regret Unnoticed presence, disturbed by familiarity Speech absorbed, uninterpreted Purpose defeated, knowing the unknown. Emotions fluctuate, care constant Emptiness filled, with concentrated sips Excessive consciousness, a poor act Elaborations fluent, betrayed by a stench Erroneous responses, beckoning distance. Mental lapses, memories stored Glass drained, a purchase to be made Uncontrolled motions, perceived to be intentional 'Disappointment' echoing, volumes relentless A pond of thoughts left, to a lonesome ponder. Loss envelopes, relations sustained Shards scatter, threatening flesh Invisible tears, sodden spirits A fated meeting, a choice afforded An inebriated promise; a sober agreement.
