Fish
I will unhook myself.
You are a coward.
Your glittery promises,
bright colors bobbing
on the surface.
Reality pierces
my lip,
renders my jaws
frozen open for
bait I will
never catch.

Your message and imagery are so powerful!
Your glittery promises,

on the surface.
Great metaphor for empty promises!
