Promise?

I don't want to make a promise
To myself
That I might not be able to keep. 
A lifetime of wanting and waiting
Has hardened my heart
For dreams. 
And so, I go on. 
Holding nothing too close. 
Nothing too dear. 
Nothing...
For myself. 
Just one step after another
Along an untended path. 
Avoiding the stones that would trip me. 
I will not fall. I will walk on. 
Without promises.
