Interpretations: His and Hers (Poem)

He promised forever.       She couldn’t stay
The thought was sad       he desired her, anyway.
Reaching for her hand    Trying to keep his word
his grip slipped and,       he thought he heard
her gasp of surprise        (a shocked intake of breath)
he interpreted as hope    that was really love's death.

I attempted to create a contrapuntal poem with some sort of rhyme scheme. This is interesting but also... lackluster. The subject matter doesn't sit right with the more sing-song nature, either.
