Promise

PROMISE

A promise must be cherished
Something that is easily spread but hard to share initially.
Once the promise is revealed, the damage is done.
The damage that devours its freedom
Similar to the way once a fly is captured it knows it's the end

Then that promise wishes,
Wishes nobody knew who it was
Back to the way it was before
Concealed within, deep in the heart, adamant to leave

Nobody is trustworthy, nobody is humble anymore.
But there is someone, a true someone.
She provides the light, guiding us out of this twisted, heinous way of evil.
She is the secret keeper
The one this promise trusts with all its heart.
The one that listens, advises and encages these promises from the traitors
The one who is my other half
Her eyes illuminate the world to the dark, deceitful side of promise.
Her smile becomes a contagious disease, even saving those in the deepest of pits
Those in need of a knight in shining armour

In the end, once a promise is revealed the damage is done.
