A Promise I Could Not Keep

We were inseperable for many memorable years, We enjoyed the laughter, overcame the pain and even cried some tears. Whenever you were in trouble, I was your angel without the wings, I taught you to be brave as well as to strive and achieve many remarkable things. I was your Idol, your sister and your best friend, I promised that we would be that way until the very end. But Indifference, something interveened and we were suddenly parted, The dreams we planned would never become reality and that too had left us broken hearted. I realized that there was nothing I could do to keep us all together, I then felt like a liar for having said that we would always share forever. With our strength, we held on tight until they pried us away, I bid back the tears and retained the pain as you screamed that you had wanted to stay! With a trembling hand, I waved goodbye and for you, tried to appear strong, Then fell to my knees in agony and plea, finding it hard to render that you were really gone. Even now I can see that gloomy day play over and over in my dreams, Oh God forgive me for making a promise to them that I just could not keep.
