My Promise

My Promise
By NG Ink



You can cry, my friend,
Let me relieve you from your troubles.
Let us sit together, tea in hand,
Whispering our fears, cares, and heart breaks away.

Let me dry your pains from those weary eyes,
Let me cradle your half-filled soul in my caring arms.
Tilt your aching head to my heart, if you will- I don’t mind.
We don’t have to leave any time soon.

Sit here a while- let me help you- I can chase your worries away.
You can cry your words for all eternity, if you can,
Or until your tears dry out.
I can wait, ever so patiently, for your healing.

I have made promises I will never break.
I will climb mountains for you,
I can sing you to sleep.
I shall love you, long after time runs out.

We will together wait until you sleep,
Then I will wait for you longer, just in case.
I will comfort you when you wake,
My kind eye will greet you if you stir.

Soon, don’t worry, because soon you will smile again,
Then I might rest- but until then,
Lend me your torments,
Share them with me.
