Promises

As tears flow freely down my face,
I force my feet to take one more pace.
All the things I didn’t get a chance to say,
I thought we’d have at least one more day.

I wasn’t to know that it wouldn’t be,
That you would be so cruelly snatched away from me.
I look at all the faces tear stained red,
As through the streets the procession is led.

I promised myself I wouldn’t cry,
But once again this promise is a lie.
For all the tear tracks running down my face,
Can never be removed, never erased.

Maybe I’ll join you, in your pit so deep,
For all I have left here on earth is misery.
A bed so cold without you here,
Another thing I’ll miss, holding you near.

I’ll miss your laugh, your smile, your touch,
I’ll miss all the little things you did so much,
You were what got me through the day,
Telling me everything will be ok.

And now as this coffin rests on my shoulder,
The rain begins to fall and the world grows colder.
I’ll never be happy without you beside me,
To hold my hand, to lead the way, to guide me.

I promise you we’ll be united,
And all the wrongs will be righted,
Even if it means my own life to take,
This is a promise I will not break.
