Until Then, I Promise…
I watch you lying awake at night,
in your bed with your eyes shut tight…
And I wonder what you're thinking about.

If I could fix this cursèd mess,
taste the sweetness of success,
I wouldn't be troubled day in, day out.

"Go to sleep," I want to say.
I know we'll always find a way.
But wait for tomorrow, when it's daylight.

I hate our dad, I miss our mother,
and I miss your smile, little brother.
I swear I'll someday make everything right.

I'll do my best to reach our goal:
complete this quest, pay the toll.

What will I give? What will it cost?
Will both of us live? Or might one be lost?

You're stronger than I could ever be,
in mind and maybe emotionally.
But I can still kick your butt when we spar.

I was wrong, the fault is mine,
and yet you forgive me; say it's fine.
I wish you could see the blessing you are.
·-—0—-·
So please don't let it get you down.
There's good reason for your renown.
And I'll trust you to know what we should do.

I'm being watched, my movements tracked.
I think you know my slumber's an act.
So I'll sleep now; I never could fool you.
·-—0—-·
I'll work and fight 'til we reach our goal:
unite my body with my soul.
·-—0—-·
How much will we give? How much will it cost?
The answer allusive, my fingers are crossed.
·-—0—-·
Until then...

I promise...

I'm looking forward to the day…

Just be patient, I'll make sure…
·-—0—-·
…we get our bodies back.

A/N: Criminal author sneaking back, having gone AWOL. Reason? Combo of end-of-school stress, bad organization skills, and a little thing called Writer's Block. I hope this poem thingy will help clear it up. But I haven't abandoned TSTC, I swear. I've just been too busy/feeling guilty to get on recently.
Otherwise...review? ¿Por favor? ^^"
Eᴅɪᴛ 5/11/12: Thank you, Immortal Fallen Radiance, for the advice.
Nᴏᴛᴇ: "Cursèd" is cursed with two syllables. But the stress isn't on the second syllable, that'd be curséd. The same thing works forblessed and blessèd
