I Can't Promise You Forever

[elleyea]

So I was reading one oftamryneradani ’s one-shots, and this line,(aka the title of this poem), came up and hit me like a….big heavy thing.  Anyways, after the hitting of the line against my head, don’t worry no brain damage, this poem popped out.

I Can’t Promise You Forever

You ask if I will love you forever.

I can promise you hope.

I can promise you love.

I can promise you the snowflakes, in the dark sky above.

I can show you my eyes.

What resides in them?  Lust.

And show you the eternity running around us.

You light up the skies

High up above me.

You are a star, so bright, you blind me.

But the troubles of this world,

Mean nothing to you.

There is no difference between what is done and what is due.

I can’t promise you a future,

One with you and me.

Past tomorrow, I am blind, and cannot see

What waits for us.

What will you do,

If I can only promise you that today,

In this moment,

I love you?
