Promise- A commitment by someone to do or not do something. A vow that is meant to be preserved.
Yet, why is it so sweet as it is so painful, like a rose bush covered in thorns. Why are the sounds that were so good to hear are as hard to grasp and hold on. Why is it that underneath this word that is meant for something, filled with malicious things. Why is it a double-edged sword? Why? Why? Why? For why if one holds on for so long, will only be left scarred, bruised and hopeless? But what if those bitter-sweet words turned out to be worth the pain for, worth the hardships under the bludgeoning of time? Or what if it is the same old lies embedded on such hopeful words? Hidden beneath the sweet sight and smell of roses are thorns that bring pain and sorrow. Are promises just the painful truth embedded behind the sweetest lies?

I'm Still Breathing
"I will never leave you," he promised. PROMISE (n.) \'prä-məs\ - a declaration that one will do or refrain from doing something specified Promises. Don't ever make promises that you're sure that you won't keep. - She's damn different. She can spin your world in different angles just to prove that she's a great person; that she is capable to leave a mark in history books without any help. However, like in all stories, problems arise, but how could she face them, if she is the main reason that sparked up every emotion, fear, and the truth; she's involved somehow and barely notice it. She'll probably face it, by avoiding it, by unconsciously making the problems worse every minute. All Rights Reserved © joey ; wxntrlcs [ 2015 ]Complete
Another Day in Paradise
*Preview* "Hey, Dakoda?" Marc stopped me. I turned back to him. "Yea?" "Promise me something." His words paused any thoughts of wanting to just heading home now so I didn't get into more trouble, causing my heart to skip. He wanted me to promise him something? "Depends." Marc's head tilted, his eyes were frowning again, something he seemed to do often. He didn't seem to like my response. Maybe he was hoping for an 'abso-friggen-lutely!' He wasn't going to get it from me. "Promise me, that the next time someone hurts you, you'll tell me." I felt my lips twist into a rueful scowl and I shook my head. "Well, that's something I can't promise." I whispered, taking a step down the driveway. Marc's eyes glinted in irritation. "Why not?" He growled. I took a deep breath, set down my skateboard back on the ground, and was poised to kick off. "I don't like to lie to people I don't want to hurt."Complete

They chase love without seeing the edge they're running toward, blind to the consequences, to the way they can break each other without even trying. That first promise we made... I didn't know it would ruin me. I didn't know it would be the one thing you couldn't keep. So tell me, What's the point of a promise if you never meant to keep it?
The Groom's Past
I cried myself asleep that night and months after that. Sometimes a promise is meant to be broken, like when you say you'll never shed a tear if its about him, but you do. And sometimes its good to cry so you can get over him. I've cried over him for months and I still wasn't over him. Maybe he is my true love. Will Carter be able to win Alex over or will she just be a little secret from the past?Complete
