We had promised

a promise that should never be made

and became giants

And our promises, with neglect, decayed

We saw each other

in our wicked lucid dreams

compromised with what was left

,a dying life,

ashes of our legacy

and before we knew it they'd been scattered

by the breath of dark lungs, vocal cords

shattered

I was a giant

but I'd never felt so human

You were brittle

when we touched

I made cracks in your skin

You covered your wounds

and smothered your cries

but the truth unfurled

from the salt in your eyes

And it burned through my ego like acid

If you were here all I would ask is

forgiveness

for breaking that promise

never to hurt you

Friend.
