We became everything,

We promised not to be.

It happened in a swing,

Too fast for even one to see.

I don't know you now,

Where have you been ?

I still can't understand how,

Our love became a sin.

All we have left,

Our silenced words.

Carving a hole in my chest,

Leaving me bereft of verbs.

I was lost in your eyes,

And the promise that it gave.

Unsure if one day I'd rise,

And leave this god-forsaken grave.

You promised,

Or was it all just in my head ?
