promise?

little 
by little
you feel 
you are fading 
away 

the same
eyes 
not looking 
at you 
in the face

the same
heart not caring 
in the same 
tender  
way 

and you breath into 
it hoping there
is something 
if there is anything 
left
to 
save

you look around
and the emptiness
permeates
into how heavy 
your 
solitude 
is
today 

you close
your eyes 
and an arm
comes to rest 
upon your shoulder
and 
they say,

“it will be 
alright,
you are 
not alone,
and all will
be 
okay…
it’s okay 
it’s okay 
there, there 
all will be
okay”
