Promise Me

Take your hand to my heart, my love, 

feel how it beats for you. 

Feel how it breaks and aches when 

you tell me what you want to do. 

Feel how it shatters into broken glass,

when you tell me you want to leave,

when you tell me life isn't for you,

something I won't believe. 

I can't let you go like this

I can't let you die

because darling, I am yours

and you're forever mine. 

I won't let you take our future,

our house, our children, our dreams,

I can't let you rip our lives 

by the very seams.

I can't let you walk out on me

by taking your very life.

I can't let you steal our happiness

we've shared for all this time.

I won't let you do this,

I'd never forgive myself;

I'd never forgive you when I see

your picture on my shelf. 

You're taking more than your life, my dear,

you're taking mine too,

You're stealing the future and a chance of happiness

that I know we'll have soon.

A touching poem with the words coming out from the depth of truth and sinecerity. I love the elegant style and the diction which makes the emotions flow so smoothly. Very well penned. Loved it. Thanks forsharing.

I am not sure if this is a true account or not, but please, if it is, I hope your loved one gets the help she needs to get out of such a dark place! I know you must be feeling a heavy weight of responsibility-but she needs to realize her mental health affects not only herself but others, and there is help out there! I pray she takes action before she harms herself, and therefore harming those she loves.
