Forever linked by chains of love, your promise was the key.
Our bond was that of fabled myths, together we were free.
Removed from claims that love could fade, so sure were we in hope.
Escape from life to dreams that formed like knots along a rope.
Verbatim, tell me just once more what long ago you swore.
Each transient thought that passes through now makes me miss you more.
Respite always fails to come, how ravaged can one stand?
And how can I succumb to life without our tethered band?
No longer does hope cast a gleam toward which I shall seek.
Deterrant loss does force away all happiness; I'm weak.
Affiliate me just once more with what you tore from me.
Lessen burdens whose vast weight chokes off the air to breathe.
Why can't you still retain the heart that I had fallen for?
As then my shattered semblance of a soul could look for more.
You still reserve a place within, despite the pain you caused.
Sure happiness did turn around, my hope-filled life, you paused.
