Promise Poem by Lubna Hazeem

In the blink of an eye
You disappeared from my arms
And went through the shadows
Of the inevitable unknown....

In the blink of an eye
Oh, everything became wrong
And the mysterious phantoms
Took hold of me alone......

Now i long for your touch
Am i asking you for much?
I am staring forever up....
I'd never, ever give up....

I just want what I've always wanted
I just need what I've always needed
I just need to hear that promise...
If it sounds silly saying it,
Then just write it.....

Write to me letters of love
Sing to me of heavens above
My soul is made of bitter honesty
It's you I'd hear and surely believe

While everything is shattered
Everything no longer matters
And in some hopeful manner
You awaken the answer....

We'd meet again, you see
When the world is beautiful
And everything you've said
Makes a beautiful memory

So lay your head back now
Let your dreams speak out
Until sunshine comes, oh.....
And sweeps you away, away...
