hope is a dangerous thing to have

I still have the promise you left me. Hugging onto it like it was dear life. It gave me hope, it made me surrender, and for better or worst, left a noose hanging around my neck.

I fear the things I would do without your promise. Drain the ocean, tally the sand, and infinitely hope that you and I is buried like some sunken treasure. I also fear the things I could do without your promise. Find love in the name of someone new and ultimately treating what we had as an illusion. But what I fear most was that I was waiting for a promise so empty that all the stars could fit inside and still have space for hope that I was not willing to abandon.

Maybe this promise is a danger to have but I have it and will cling onto it until I bleed out and die.
