Vows

 

 
Retracing my footsteps
For the negligence of the invaluable
How easy it is to squander in moments what you've waited a lifetime for
Taking advantage

First love is my only one
Yet is spoken as if a connotation for plan b kisses with a clause to disclaim vows

Committed beyond paper
When my heart is in contract beyond termination
Beyond the breach of compromise
I draft my ideals at the altar
As I learn to walk love and find my gait after the pace of a lifetime's race

If her heart is a prize I win every day
Then I run to attain first place in her eyes and contend to secure that position
Maintaining something more than just a trophy to exploit accomplishment

More than just a reflection on reputation
But to do justice beauty and virtue
To live worth the weight of a priceless heart by the intrinsic value of action
As vows are reproved by consistency...
