I know too well that
Breaking some promises is
Like forbidden fruit
More enticing than
Anything certain or safe
I understand that
And you should know that
Promises are made of glass
But not to shatter
They are made of glass
Pellucid so you can see
The reality
Words that hang in a
Still, suffocating, silence
Squeeze your lying lungs
A small punishment
For those who will treat themselves
To forbidden fruit

The reality
Words that hang in a
Still, suffocating, silence
Squeeze your lying lungs
A small punishment
For those who will treat themselves
To forbidden fruit
