(promise you that)

d-mn
god

please
promise you will
if you don’t i’ll still wish you well
i figured i’d write this letter for worse or better, still
to see you smile is a blessin’ to me, it burns
but know, i’d never wish you a singe ounce of pain or hurt
for what it’s worth
i send apologies for decisions i made
when decisions got to heavy to lift when i broke my back
but i’m healin’
thank you for holdin’ hands
the only chance i had when hersh-ll p-ssed
to keep this feelin’ from slippin’ through these cracks of my past

and, when we watched your sister take her breath
you let me sing to you
i sang to you
i’d bleed for you to see you grow from that

and then you grew from that
i’m so proud of you
i know you’ll make your momma proud
i know how much that means to you
i wish i had the words to form the perfect picture
that i see, when i gaze at you
i’m looking through the eyes of a god
that never lost the touch, when he took the brush and created you

i pray for you when i’m weak
i think of you when i speak
i think of you when i count my blessings
in less than a week
i might make my way to heaven
i’ll ask the reverend to preach the truth of what i meant to do when i had the chance to be true and chose to be selfish and rip through these very blessings i’m speakin’ of

that’s when i needed love the most
i mean, i needed god the most
i said some things i didn’t know would be the death of me
i let you see the worst of me
the best of me, was buried deep in pain and insecurities

i hope that you forgive me

i hope you know that i never meant to be broken
my soul was only an open book, and i chose to be closest to what emotions i’ve known since i woke from bein’ alone
it’s a vicious circle, ferocious

i know that you know i hope that you find yourself in the arms of a man that will keep you safe
when i had it i didn’t place what i had back in the face of a man that’s in my reflection
i kept it far from perfection
my fear, was keepin’ you back
when i should’ve let you be free

it’s k!llin’ me to make the choice
to let go of all of the voices
that sing to me in rejoice
when i hear your name in the streets
and i see your face on my screen
but i know this is what you need
so, i promise to keep my distance
and i hope that it makes a difference

and when it’s tough
i never run
i face the pain that i’m supposed to face
i may not understand it
but, i know my place

i know that god is still a god
and i am only but a man
so please remember if again that gets the best of me

it’s hard to think it was just a couple decisions
that crippled us, in an instant
a moment that’s unforgiven
i noticed i never listened
i always heard to be heard
i never let you be honest
i panicked at every word

if i could go back i promise i’d do right
but the closest i could get you
is give you back to your life

and let you fall in love
and follow dreams
and follow light

and follow intuition
and good decisions
and christ

and as i travel down this road you’ll probably never cross

i send this sealed letter of everything that we lost

i know my way
i know my strength
i know myself
i know my cause

i know exactly where i’m headed

i’ll send you seven kisses

i love you, ma

(hospital sounds)
