A Kiss of a Promise

Of all the promises said, there was never one met.
Of all the promises said, there was only one kept.
"To Love is To Perish"
You made a promise to me,
To love forever and never let.
You gave me your word on the bible you see,
And still I have not seen your promise kept.
You made a promise to me,
To always be at my side.
To love and to cherish,
To never let me be alone on this ride.
You made a promise to me,
To always be present in my life.
So that I can love you and mourn you,
If ever someone was to turn us in strife.
You made a promise to me,
To show me that nothing is right.
Because love is spectacular,
There is only wrong in the night.
You made a promise to me,
To love me no matter the crime.
But so quickly you forgot,
You kept me a prisoner of time.
You made a promise to me,
To reveal all that you hold in sight.
Letting a precious demeanor unfold,
To revel in your promise and might.
You made a promise to me,
To make me blessed and help me see.
And I came so willingly in your delight,
Thinking of all the people you could make it just right.
Of all the promises said,
You did allow one to be met.
Of all the promises said,
Even the Devil would not make such a bet.
