You were there...

Woke up this morning,
Hesitant to open my eyes,
Dreading to face the new day,
You were there...

Showered,
Got dressed,
Rushed out without breakfast,
You were there...

Rushing for datelines,
Picking up unfriendly calls,
Being ignored,
You were there...

Having mindless chats,
Wishing he would react,
Getting another tight slap,
You were there...

Forcing a smile,
In denial,
Trying to get through this trial,
You were there...

Getting home,
worn, torn, weary,
Hoping that someone could hold me,
You were there...

In every situation,
In every second,
Though I wasn't aware,
You are always there...

Now with every ounce of breathe,
Every tear that trickles down,
Every piece from a broken heart,
Please promise me You'd be there...

Please promise me this,
Please promise me this,
Please promise me this as I go through each day,
You would be there...

I will be there...
