A crack in the heart,

a shatter in the eye,

a tear in the seams

of every fold of skin,

a spark in the veins,

fire in the soul,

are all that came

when he broke his promise.

A manic of a smile,

a clench of a jaw,

a cold sweat frosting lips,

and a blackout of the brain,

are all that came

when she found that,

he broke his promise.

A push, a shove, a cowardly tear,

snaking down four cheeks,

wetting two chins.

A slap, a beating, a sting of a bee

that never dies in both chests,

forever pain in both souls.

A stride of a leg,

a final farewell of a hand,

an icy glaze in winter eyes,

was all that was left,

in both,

when he broke his promise.
