January 7 -- "Once, when no one was looking..."

Once,
when no one was looking,

you asked for a promise

in my ear.

The dark concealed tears
when I needed it most --
but you could hear them
falling

as
yes trembled
from terrified lips.


Words
are never easy

when slipped from the heart,

despite being said

countless times before.


I don't think

I could ever forget

such a powerful promise

broken.
