Can I tell why an apple is as fragile as a promise?
Like an apple, a promise has its core and skin.
A fragile promise are the ones you cannot miss.
You can try ignoring it but breaking a promise, it was once a sin.
It may be the toughest one to keep.
Like an apple's skin; it's the toughest part to eat.
But if a promise is kept, you'll get a little deep.
Like the inside of an apple, a kept promise will be sweet.
Remember, as apples grow on trees, a fragile promise is in reach.
It takes time, because those promises are meant to be.
There's the fragile; an apple. The non fragile; a peach.
Understand, the fragile are the hardest on the outside, you'll see.
The fragile are vulnerable and need to be protected.
If a promise is kept, the sweets won't pretend.
But if a fragile promise is broken, it's another apple infested.
Of course, the core of an apple will always come along, because at one point everything has to end.
