I made a promise not so long ago, <br />I told you I would never leave you, <br />And you promised me the same. <br /> <br />But then you left me anyway, <br />Not in a way we both expected. <br /> <br />So now I have to come to your grave, <br />With our child, <br />And explain to him, <br />Who you are. <br /> <br />I cry to sleep and I hold him close to me, <br />Because he is all I have left of you. <br /> <br />So even to this day, <br />I keep my promise. <br />By loving our child, <br />Like I would have loved you. <br />So my dear, <br />Close your eyes, <br />And breathe no more. <br />Because I will never forget you, <br />Don't worry, <br />I'll keep my promise to you.<br /><br />Mathew Sutter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/promise-27/
