A Promise to You

A nervous laugh

Then I see you smile

I wonder what you soul has seen

Has it felt love

A gentle hand

A tender kiss

I fear its happiness

That you miss



Inside your eyes

I see the tears

I feel the fear

So much pain

In 19 years



Can I help

Please

For in you, I see me

I hear the smack

I see the bruise

And thoughts of suicide

Why not?

When all has been taken

There is nothing to lose



Please don’t go

My heart whispers this scream

I want you to know

Just what you mean



All is not lost

This much I swear

It can’t be love

But my friendship I’ll share



Let the beat of your heart

Comfort you

And soothe your tears of pain

Future memories will bring

Tears of joy

Laughter

And love again
