I promise

I promise,

till my last ounce of breath,
the last rush, through my freezing veins
the glisten of my last tear,

I promise, to love you.

With my last strand of hope,
with my last chime of belief,
with my last glow of pride,
my last wish, upon a star,

I promise, to love you.

With my last glimpse of the world,
with my last shiver of pain,
my last desire,
to be told,
it's a dream

I promise, to love you.

If ever, I have to part,
I promise, to love you,
till I can, no more.

You shall be,
in my last flicker of fading memories,
in my last heave of sigh,
in my last, unfinished prayer.
