"A Vow"

Trying to escape.

Avoiding my fate.

Life's falling apart.

Light turns to dark.

Questioning reality.

As I face a tragedy.

I try to stay strong,

Yet it all feels wrong.

One flame went out.

I give in to my doubt.

I pray for good news.

Despite feeling blue.

A call came overnight.

Everything is all right.

Worry leaves my soul.

They'll keep growing old.

My heart is already torn,

But healing from mourn.

Losing both this close.

Would lead me to throe.

I pray that by that day.

I have something to say.

That I can make proud.

This is something I vow.
