Suicidal Promise

A shell starts to crack
A glistening promise.
It penetrates the skin.
First a trickle of juice,
The promise digs deeper,
An ocean gushes out.
Relief cleansing the body.
A shortage of breath.
A thud.
A creaking door.
A scream of shock.
A glint of an old promise,
Held in the hand,
The peaceful silence of a promise fulfilled.
