Lost in the fog

Alone in the deep

Bound by a promise

That he couldn’t keep

Their love was wrong

Taboo in fact

Desires forbidden

Neither afraid of the consequence

The bounding promise

Became a chain

Weighing him down

Hoping he’d refrain

Devoid of feeling

Too selfish to care

He threw all caution to the wind

To keep her instead

The result of his actions

Came past due

In the form of a letter

With unfortunate news

The woman he had broken so many promises to keep

Became another’s

In a few short weeks
