Written Promise

To move a blade across my skin,
And count the tears i cried,
Would not bring me half the pain,
Than if i left your side.

To tear my heart, and rip my lungs,
And be cursed in all i do,
Would be my preferable punishment,
Rather than walk away from you.

If rainclouds followed without your control,
And the pain grew worse every day,
I would find a way to let go of my soul,
Rise to Heaven, and chase them away.

My darling girl, I know your scared,
Of thinking about the unknown.
I know it hurts when your so unprepared,
For someone to leave you alone.

There are words which are put together,
To make a promise to your heart.
That my friendship means forever,
And has done from the start.

There won't be many in this life,
Who understand the meaning,
Or many who will choose to believe,
The reality behind the dreaming.

But know this, remember it well,
I am here for you.
Just think back to the time we fell,
And believe that you love me too.

Sometimes its hard to fall below,
Knowing noone is underneith,
But be sure that whatever you know,
Know you can fall with a sigh of relief.

'Cause i will be there holding you,
When your life is on a thread,
I will be there catching you,
When nightmares throw you off your bed.

I will be there next to you,
Taking care of broken hearts,
I'll be the one to fall for you,
When exhaustion plays its part.

I'll be the light when your eyes are dark,
And guide you into safety,
I'll be the one to stop you wandering,
And make sure u get home safely.

I'll be there always, to make you laugh,
To be a friend only for you.
'Cause girl, without you, im only half,
Of the person that you've helped through.

*Written for a girl who has to realise just how much her friendship means to me, and to know that i would never, ever, leave her alone*
