Promise Me, Dearest

Come here, come here

And we will speak quietly

Of all the broken things

That span the space

Between you and I.

Tattered dreams and secrets

Our hearts swore they would

Forever keep, unto the day

We die.

Oh come here, come here,

And spend an hour

By my world-weary side.

We will speak of love.

We will speak of life.

But tell me dearest,

Oh promise dearest friend,

That you will tell me

No lies.

Come here, come here,

Visit me with your tears.

Lay down ever so softly

On my shoulder,

Against my breast.

I shall be your strength today,

And tomorrow dearest,

Promise, dearest, you will

Be mine.
