12. The Vow

Stranded by the mist
We lost our way
in the midst.
You tried to take hold
of my hand
Because you were afraid
I might fall off the land.

Night came closing in
It was time to pay
for the sin.
The stars began to lose
their shine
So you tried to keep the candle burning in the shrine.

We vowed to be together
But, sweetheart,
how could we believe
that the candle will burn
forever?
I will always be a part
of the darkened sky
No matter how much
you tried to deny.

You should have
stopped trying.
You should have
stopped lying.
You should have
stopped telling yourself
that I was worth this fighting.

We both are hurting now
Because we couldn't keep the vow.
