Forgotten Promises — Elle Brooks

Saying “I Promise” is easy, it's just two little words. No one warned me of the weight they hold, that they not only have the power to give hope, or show devotion, they can destroy everything. Promises can cause immeasurable hurt. They can ruin lives.

Every promise holds a toll, and if I had known what mine would cost me, I would have walked away. Now I have to pay the price, watch the consequences of my actions unfold. Witnessing someone I love crumble after breaking my oath isn't the hardest thing I've ever endured, it's being forgotten by the one person that I could never forget.
