A promise

If it wasn't for my friend James, I wouldn't be here today

The tears he shed were for real

The pain he spoke was hard to hear

"I love you, I care about you don't you know that?"

The words he spoke to me

 

Out of this God forsaken world

He showed me he cares

He showed me he loves me

He showed me how it would affect him

 

So a promise was formed

A promise that I still hold onto

A promise that I still charish

No matter how much I want to break it

 

I do not

A promise that I will keep

Forever

A promise keeps one moving despite all drawbacks of the daily reality .... and expressed in a heartfelt manner in yr piece ..... good job ...

I'm glad you have a good friend. This is a very good poem. Thought I'd say you did a good job.
