Promise Poem by Ivan Ng1

Promise

Rating: 4.9


Ceiling so high
Walls so wide apart
Treading along this path
with a gasping heart

Led by Trust
I follow through
dim-lit hallways
after you

Words exchanged
I'm left alone
To face my fears
away from home

Darkness falls
too strong to bear
My gasping heart
leaks out a tear

Moments pass
I wait for you
Into your arms
So strong and true

A kiss exchanged
A promise made
That I'll stay strong;
not be afraid

Clock ticks past
the number two
Tearfully glad
as I hear you!
