At All Times

Without exception

I promised

unbroken continuity

and at no time

on no occasion

that is not even once

was I without an end

but for all future times

in an emotional permanence

bereft of hyperbole

and consistency

or absolute negation

through a vow

a grief

a bond

a frustration

as in time itself

stretching from a

moment to infinity

now that I’m

stuck in this

endless duration

without a beginning

or an end

always

never

forever
