The Promise
His soul is never resting
His tears, they flow like rain
His beautiful deep brown eyes do shine
And curtain all the pain
He goes through life a dreamer
Never knowing what is real
His deep and soulful eyes
Now cold and dark as steel
He knows he can never make amends
Things can never be right
His love for her will never die
Nor dissipate with the night
They'd fought a thousand lifetimes
And died a thousand deaths
All the while in the others arms
With the taking of last breaths
He'd found pure joy in her embrace
He vowed another day
When he would come again for her
Through space and time someway
Once again he closed his eyes
To hide from her the pain
His promise lingered in the air
That he would come again
Each lifetime he would come for her
But each would quickly end
Before they had a chance to love
Before their souls could mend
Each time there was a promise
That he would always keep
He'd go through life awaiting the day
When he could finally sleep
Each time their lives were different
But their love would never fade
And the promise of a life fulfilled
That long ago was made
One day soon his soul will rest
When he can live his life
And make of her his one true love
And then, in turn, his wife
They never knew of their past loves
Or the promises they had boar
They only know the present now
Not loves they'd lived before
They cannot be together
In this or any life
The past would always haunt him
With his promised wife
But it was all a trick of the mind
And she could never compare
To the love he'd found a thousand times
From one so pure and fair
He swore this time was different
And that he'd found the key
To shatter the circle of heartbreak
Now he could be free
He finally understood his life
And what he was meant to do
He'd finally fulfill his destiny
All of which he knew
He'd finally end his suffering
Of his loving soul
He knew that she was his one true love
He all at once was whole
He'd never again be empty
His heart would never lack
He knew at once the hidden truth
The pain came flooding back
He broke into a run now
And finally reached the door
His tear-stained face now pale with death
His true love on the floor
He hugged her tight as tears rained down
Her hair and skin now wet
With the warm, moist tears he wept for her
A love she'd never forget
She took a breath and heaved a sigh
As she lie there growing still
She made him vow it once again
A promise to fulfill
As she took her final breath
He promised her once more
The promise of a thousand loves
Which long ago was boar
He'd found pure joy in her embrace
He vowed another day
When he would come again for her
Through space and time someway
Once again he closed his eyes
To hide from her the pain
His promise lingered in the air
That he would come again
Each lifetime he would come for her
But each would quickly end
Before they had a chance to love
Before their souls could mend
Old promises now made anew
He held her close and wept
Lifetimes more were left to go
For a promise to be kept
His soul is never resting
His tears, they flow like rain
His beautiful deep brown eyes do shine
And curtain all the pain
He goes through life a dreamer
Never knowing what is real
His deep and soulful eyes
Now cold and dark as steel
He knows he can never make amends
Things can never be right
His love for her will never die
Nor dissipate with the night
They'd fought a thousand lifetimes
And died a thousand deaths
All the while in the others arms
