Be Sure, I Will be There

deep, in the dark of the unlit room,
dark, in the depths of the silent nights,
when you look out of your window,
you'll find a lonely lamp,
perched in the sky,
as if waiting for you,
you'll likely meet the misty breeze,
and if you find none waiting,
you can be sure, i would be

in the quiet of your room,
when you tucked your face
into the pillow,
or when sleep is elusive,
and the only noise you hear
is the ticking of the clock,
every tick drawing you apart,
a tad farther,
and if you're too lost to hear them,
you just can't miss the beat of a heart
which has never missed a beat,
not even once,
for you!
