Promises

I made a promise once
If you can win a promise
I won
This promise broke my heart
Shattered it
It's in my body in shards 
Floating around
I move slightly 
It pierces my organs
Unforgivingly

This promise will be the death of me
And I can't wait
I'm looking forward to it

This promise was our love breaking 
My knowing 
We wouldn't make it
I won this promise
And I'm loving the pain of it.
