The Promise

Pierced with the arrow
On my back I look to the sky
Promise to not try to carry me
Let me stay here to die

I’ve known this day would arrive
I new she would not lie
I still see the clear light shine
Alive inside her eyes

This is to be the last dance
A last chance to see her smile
Though tears shed from her eyes
She stays with me for a while

In her arms my life leaves me
The promise kept all the while
She did not try to carry me
She let me stay there to die.
