I wrote this as a dedication to everything and everyone I have ever loved. It is effectively a "thought poem", which I have called simply "Oath".

I concentrate on many things,
As I stare into the darkness,
I fear for the world around me,
And think about life,
And, I say:
It’s wondrous to think,
We exist at all.

Sometimes I laugh at how deep things are,
And sometimes I cry,
In a lack of comprehension,
So true that it scares me,
A mortal scar
On our very complexion.

If something was once nothing,
Then decipher to me this,
How can nothing become something,
Without the softness of your kiss?

If I were ever nothing,
I would make a promise.

To you, and only you,
I beseech my entire life,
And if that is a crime,
Then I am a sinner,
But in eternity,
Something will become of nothing,
And I will be something unto you.
