A Promise to Break

Oh the weight, the weight of the vows.
it plays so heavy such a burden now.
In the moment when a promise is made
it can be taken seriosly, but the meaning
can still hold all the weight.... the vows,
the words they can all be true....

Until the day life hands them back to you.
Places them so quickly in the hands of fate,
leaving you standing with the choice to make.
A heart beating heavy with burden and load,
the mind reels uneasing not knowing the road.

Amazing it seems as time ticks away...
the promise was made with little taken from that day.
Now, holding fate heavy in your hands... time passes slowly.
The ticking as life stands.... stands still, frozen waiting for the moment.

When the choice will come and make its escape,
taking with it the all the promises made.
Will they be taken or kept, stand strong or fade?

When you open your eyes and all is done,
was it with a promise to break that the battle was won?
