Promised Refuge

I once made you a promise So long ago it seems a lifetime Never again would you have To face the darkness alone It was a promise I would repeat With each spiral and dark descent I would never run away No matter how much you expected it Eventually you said goodbye And it shattered me to pieces But that promise never left me Even if the muse behind it did I worried for a while Until I knew that you were safe Then I focused on myself And eventually pieces changed to peace And now so much time has passed But that promise isn’t void So permanent its carved in stone Even if I never need fulfill it Like a cellar in a storm A place of refuge from the wind I'm not asking you always stay here Just asking you know I'm still there For storms are so destructive The tornadoes, rain, and hail So I'll always keep that promise I will never let it fail
