I'll Always Be With You

I'll Always Be With You

A 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
