Promises are meant to be Broken

Or is it not ?

I have recently got into very big trouble, when I made a promise that I couldn't deliver. I broke it, not out of frivolousness, but rather, I was in a situation where I couldn't escape, but break that promise.

I made a promise to someone dear, and I broke it. Not because I wanted to, but I was left with no choice. If only that someone knew what my situation was then. It is true, that it boils down to the choices that I have made. Yes. But, despite of that, I wasn't able to avoid and I wasn't left with any choice. It is not in the case where I could help it.

Feeling down now.... someone is very very very angry with me, and I can do nothing to restore that same trust and faith in me anymore. I know that I am at fault that I did it, but, sometimes, there should be room for explaination....

Well, there was some room for me to explain though, but that someone doesn't seem to understand the predicament that I was in, flying into a rage everytime I try to resolve the issue.

I didn't sleep a wink at all last nite. I surprise myself with being still wide awake when its already quarter to 4 in the afternoon.

Do I regret what I have done - of course I do. But, honestly, I cannot think of anyway out of that situation other then what I did. I can't make that someone understand, or sympathise. I just hope that its empathy that is still available on the entree plate.

Sigh.
