The Promise

When the world comes crashing down,
And all is left a smoking ruin.
When the floodgates open,
And the salt flows over open wounds.
When all sense of balance is lost,
And you descend down into the darkest of pits.
When the skies burn.
When the earth no longer turns.
When the sun goes black.
When friends turn their backs.
Hearts break.
Walls shake.
Imposters fake.
Thieves take.
War.
Famine.
Conquest.
Death.
When all is lost, forgotten, and ruined.
When there's no light,
No will to fight,
Eternal night.
When agony sets in,
Burns from within,
And you can't win.

When it all shatters,
When it most matters,
I'll be there.
