You swore that you would be there
When I no longer could not bear
You swore that you would be my rock
When I no longer could not stand

The clock ticked and the time came
When my world started to aflame
Your words were there
But your presence was just air

You had my trust
But you turned that into dust
And as the days went by
I finally stopped to cry

My body hurt, my thoughts were burnt
But as they flamed, they became anew
And as He states,
Fear no evil; for I am with you

You never were there.
