Promise

Submitted by Timothy on Fri, 08/22/2008 - 04:01

This look in my eyes is a desperate glance in the dark
No weight on my shoulders, but it’s like an anvil to the heart
I can’t find my answers if I don’t know what to ask
I can’t fill my need until I know what I lack
It’s so hard to hold on when the silence is all I hear
Right when I need your arms around me, I find no faith that you are near
It doesn’t just seem like yesterday when everything was fine
How suddenly I’ve lost the joy I thought was mine
Stuck in this confusion, my truth becomes a lie
But if I lose your love tonight my soul will surely die
Dear God if I choose the wrong path, you know I’ll need you still
And I promise that I love you, and I always will
