Promise Poem by Alex McCullough

I put my faith in your promise,
It's too hard to give me courage,
Always hold onto my feelings,
My precious heart reaches out to you.
Walking by the old pond,
A gentle breeze blew pass my shoulder,
And in that moment,
It felt like you were with me once again.
Oh how the memories still rest in my mind,
Troubling me each night,
With a different tale of our time together,
That soon turns into nothingness.
Some parts of me,
Yearn to be in your arms once more,
But then I remember the tears back then,
And I realize that can't be, not matter what.
Like a carefree bird,
And a cool air after a harsh rain,
Dreams bring happiness back into my live,
Like you once used to.
Sometimes I want to become lost in myself,
So then I don't feel anything,
But I made a promise to myself,
To never be alone anymore.
Always holding onto my feelings,
My precious heart reaches out to you.
