Promise

I am sitting now
Quiet, trying to compose
Doesn’t matter how
With poetry or prose 
My own mind
In that moment of bereft
Why you were suddenly kind?
And then you left

In that play 
You see,
About who’s more dominant
Corridors length can cause pain
And now we’ll stay
Divided by sea
And a continent
Until we see again.

As if a few days of waiting
Were not enough of testing
If I finally bend
Now for weeks you’re breaking
And that’s contesting
Of my strength

Anyway, I don’t need reprieve.
Won’t beg you come back.
Won’t slack
Or just wait here naive
Counting on my luck
Losing the track

I’ll be working a lot
And gearing quite up
Will fight
I will check what I got
All resources I tap
In that plight

I will “fill the unforgiving minute
With 60 seconds’ worth of distance run”
Every hour and each day
As the poem had it in it
On the cup you had for fun
When we started to play.
