~Commitments & Promises~
Thoughts were racing through it all
black and white was all I saw.
Street lights shined into the room
muting the darkness they'd consumed.
Rain falling; the only sound
not a single person around.
Thinking about what I'd say
how would I make it go away?
Examined the choices; meeting my fate
Shaken up... increased heart rate.
There's no turning back; what's done is done
oh, how I had prayed for the sun.
I needed optimism... a little light
but that was ripped from the sky, by night.
A promise; a commitment met my mind
a little bit longer, and I'd be fine.
Stared out the window; made my own light
because guess what... I'd fight.
Commitments and promises saved a life
and many more that night.
