“Exception”

I made a promise

A promised not to fall 

To the scariest cliff 

Because I will find myself

Opening the exit route 

Of my words

Engraved using my admiration

 

I promised not to dive 

To the deepest ocean 

Because I'll just end up

Grasping for air

Drowning in my thoughts

While being lost

 

But a promise is a glass 

It's meant to break 

Because darling 

I promised not to write 

I promised not to fall in love 

But you're the subject

Of a poem I wrote

About love.
