Together Forever
A promise is a promise. The flickering flame flaunted its red. Hands shaking against the candle, sucking in its last breath. Light laminates the long, lamentable lake. Tall trees tremor. Taunting. Tantalizing. A promise is a promise. The wind bristles, sending silent whispers. Lurking behind, his voice. Maybe, hers. Mixed to be one. Eyes peak out with pure poison, now. The water is waiting; unwavering. A promise is a promise. She sheds no salty tears. Satisfied with her life sentence. But, still, the hurt humming in her heart is earsplitting. A tune singing only loneliness. Wistful whispers wail to her. He's gone; A promise is a promise. Fingers fiddle the familiar feeling. Her ring. Till death. A promise is a promise. Walking forward, a warm smile, wrinkles from age, she wades into the water. I do.
