The Promise.

Useless
I feel so useless
My arms cannot reach you to comfort you
My words seem empty and cold
I wish I was stronger for you
I wish I had riches untold

I’d buy you the moon and the starlight
I’d whisk you away from your fears
I’d pull down the clouds for to sleep on
And with kisses I’d dry all your tears

But alas I am only a mortal
And the world does not bend to my will
But the day that I find how to do it
I promise I will not rest until

I have spent every moment beside you
And have made you laugh every day
And through lifetimes I’ve whispered I love you
And taken all of your darkness away.
