No matter how much you hurt <br /> <br />No matter how much you cry <br /> <br />No matter how easy it seems <br /> <br />To break down and die <br /> <br />Don’t do it, young child <br /> <br />Don’t even think that <br /> <br />That’s not the easy road <br /> <br />Ive already gone down that path <br /> <br />For whatever its worth <br /> <br />And whatever it means <br /> <br />I’ll be here for you <br /> <br />Through nightmares and dreams <br /> <br />I’ll never let you fall <br /> <br />As some may have before <br /> <br />I’ll always love you <br /> <br />You honestly can’t ignore <br /> <br />No matter what you may think <br /> <br />Or any assumptions you keep <br /> <br />I’m the real deal, a true blue friend <br /> <br />And my affections run deep <br /> <br />Don’t think I’d ever leave you <br /> <br />Don’t think I’d ever lie <br /> <br />Don’t think I’d ever deceive you <br /> <br />Don’t think I’d ever say good bye <br /> <br />I’ve thrown my heart away <br /> <br />And felt like the dead <br /> <br />For far too long now <br /> <br />My soul has bled <br /> <br />I can’t quite explain <br /> <br />The thing you do to me <br /> <br />You make my heart stop hurting <br /> <br />And help me properly breathe <br /> <br />So the only way I’m going <br /> <br />Is if you leave me first <br /> <br />As long as you love me <br /> <br />Through the best and the worst <br /> <br />I’ll be here.<br /><br />Heather Stephens<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-ll-be-here-2/
