Forever. Yours.

This lonely day has turned into night,
I feel my heart explode in my chest.
One bitter tear sparks in my eye,
The soul behind it knows no rest.
The light of one more candle is gone,
Reality is scaring my hope,
And through the night I'll be all alone...
But I will keep the promise. I'll cope.

The night. The day.
The miles. Away.
The waiting. Hard.
So frail. Apart.
The dusk. The dawn.
Afraid. Uknown.
Still lost. No way.
Alone. Again.

But everything we're going through
Is bound to leave a mark on my heart.
This mark will bind our lives, me and you.
Tomorrow will be a new start.
I'll shield you from the sword of your fate,
And, bleeding, I will fight for you, still.
The one it took you long to create
Will heal you by one movement of will.

Your eyes. The light.
Arms broken. Fight.
My heart. My hand.
Love. Till the end.
The promise. Here.
With you. No fear.
New ways. New doors.
Forever. Yours.

I really like this. Very poignant, and moving. The last stanza I think in paarticular is effective.

"But everything we're going through
Is bound to leave a mark on my heart.
This mark will bind our lives, me and you.
Tomorrow will be a new start."

This verse leaped out at me.
There is always hope in tomorrow.
