I'll Always Be With YouA Poem by Katie Kistler
It's okay
With me you're safe You were only dreaming, love Of a different place It's alright We're far away Under cover of night We will stay Swallow this pill to take you home So you won't have to be alone Even just for a moment All your fears will fade away Now we can finally say goodbye I'll try to say it better this time With our eyes we'll create oceans That can wash away the pain In dusky light I held you tight We were barely speaking, love Pretending we weren't afraid Wasted time Til our first goodbye We never had a choice From the first day All of your friends are dead and gone No is singing victory songs We never saved the world We just saved a day These precious flowers that I've loved They seem to shrivel at my touch But the rose that grew Kept fighting through the rain Nobody can make it through a flood Even warriors and queens that bathe in blood The storm clouds carry on without a thought Of the mountains they destroyed but never fought I know we won't get a third goodbye You'd tell me not to apologize But I'm sorry I couldn't save you Though you were my saving grace Now every candle that I light Brings me back to forest eyes And every time I feel the rain I see your face © 2016 Katie Kistler |
