Promise Ring

I wore the promise ring you gave me for a few days after we broke up

I had the habit of putting it on every day

every time I reached my hand out for it

I smiled, my heart filled with joy at the thought of that night in the cabin when we made that promise to each other

I still had hope

I guess I thought

maybe if I keep wearing it

the promise wouldn’t be broken

my heart wouldn’t shatter

'til I realized

that promise of loving one another until we grew old and never giving up when things got hard

was already broken

the moment you decided

I was no longer worth the fight to you

the moment you gave up

that promise was broken

that small thread of hope slipped away

and my heart shattered

heartbreak
