i made a promise— a shackle, a chain, a weight to bear— inked it into my skin, let it hover behind my throat; a secret agreement; so why do i feel like my chest is an eternity and a fortnight lighter?

binding [but not kept]
i made a promise— a shackle, a chain, a weight to bear— inked it into my skin, let it hover behind my throat; a secret agreement; so why do i feel like my chest is an eternity and a fortnight lighter?
