Broken Promise

Here I am again, it has been three years
The sight of your plain gravestone still bring tears
Hands set upon the worn stone, I regret
Making that one promise before you left

Remember that day in the hospital?
We were in that , white, clean and small
We spoke thinking nothing wrong will occur
Known not that you will stay with me for sure

Knowing before me, you turn with eyes sad
Gazed into my eyes; fear began to add
You had me promise, with your final breath
And I watched you convulse to your death

The promise drawn out was to continue
To live happily and to forget you
Be happy? That much is easier said
And to forget you is blasphemy read

Today before you I am a dark shell
The shadow of the man you knew so well
The good side of me died with you that day
Leaving this empty silhouette to stay

Please love... please forgive my dark horrid sin!
I held true dearly, yet I could not win
I could not live happily, nor forget
The promise I've broken with much regret

I promise this though, with all my heart
I will visit constantly; today's a start
There is one final promise I make too
Death cannot ever stop my love for you
