Pact

If I have to watch you die I hope you fly to the righteous sky and watch over me...

I see you standing
On the edge
Just across the river
A boundary that I cannot cross
And I see the tearstains
On your face
A roadmap of your sorrow
Painted on your cheeks

I see that look
In your eyes
Your pain in shades of green
And you look at me
Envious
Of what I am

I see your lips move
Over words
So carefully
“It’s over now.”
You look down
Won’t meet my eyes
“I’m leaving.”

I just need you to promise
If I have to watch you die
I hope you fly into the righteous sky
And watch over me
And always let me know
You’re there
And if your body is tarnished
And your soul banished below
Then reach through the earth
And pull me down
Because there’s one thing I know

 

Be it on Earth
Or in Heaven or Hell
I need you by my side
I need your hand to guide me
Wherever I may go

I understood this as a poem about too imaginative people. I liked the speed of the poem and I like how tricky but willingly you speak abut what you wish or desire. Great poem, in the sense, it is clean, honest and applicable to everyone. loved.
