Trothplight ... Bend

Today's word is "trothplight" ... trawth-plahyt ... engagement to be married; (dictionary.com)

Bend
In the world of long ago,
A trothplight would be made,
A promise for the future,
Which time would never fade.

Now promises that resound,
May last but a short day,
Until one or the other's bored,
And no longer wants to stay.

What magic's in a promise,
That makes it sure and true,
So two may live together,
Even when things are askew?
