You Promised

to keep me safe

to care for me

to never leave

You said you loved me

more than anyone

We built our lives, our dreams

together

and it’s so wrong

your aren’t here

I don’t know what to do now

I hate fear

I mourn for normalcy

I cry for my family

I yearn to feel you close

I feel lost, abandoned

I pray for the Lord

to heal our broken souls

To learn to trust again

To learn to feel safe again

It wasn’t supposed to

be this way
