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
