Promises

like paperweights

on your desk.

Securing your dreams

so that they can't fly away

when a strong breeze enters

through the open window.

You won't shut it582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXhvgaRh6O

because you believe you'd suffocate without it.

Promises

on display,

made of silver and gold

and similar trinkets.

You show off

your promises

through a ring upon your finger.

Promises

fill your pockets like stones

to weigh you down,

like dead weight

that you cannot drop

because you can't leave your loved ones

to pick up your slack.

Promises

like daisy-flowers;

plentiful, pretty,

ignored, short-lived.
