Promise Me

Drowning in my troubles,
     you’re the one to save me.
My life lies in your hands.
I’m contingent on your words.
I owe my happiness to you,
     because you’re the one who brings it to me.

Promise me you won’t ever leave me.
Promise me you’ll always help.

I am depending on your love.
I would be nothing without you,
     only a rotting corpse buried under six feat of agony.
The weight of suffering was crushing me.

Then you came along and freed me,
     unlocked the shackles that kept me in the dark.

Promise me that this is true.
Promise me that this won’t end.
I ask you for one thing,
     just promise me.
