Jack, I Swear

The subtle trace of breeze upon my face,
The sound of crackling embers as they fade,
The biting cold that rips my weakened heart,
The words catch in my throat, too long delayed.

I feel the breath of whispered words so near,
They comfort through the thin cold mountain air.
That time of fear and longing intertwined
Just for one sweet moment more - I swear.

When day is done I lie upon my bed,
Each lonely night, the same repeated prayer
To meet you once again in twilight sleep.
For just one single dream of you I swear

To say Id give my life is not enough,
This weathered weary hearts not worth a dime.
The tragic truth will haunt me all my days,
Ill bear the cross of blame thats surely mine.


And as I slowly wake to morning rain,
I taste the tears still wet upon my face.
So desperate to reclaim my restless sleep,
Unwilling to release your sweet embrace.

But yes, the cold gray morning always finds me,
It knows not of my dreams and doesnt care,
And so I rise to face the life Ive chosen.
But oh, things would be different, Jack, I swear.

The world would be so different, I swear.

The line at the beginning is my favorite in the entire story. It shows that he can still go on without Jack by his side.
