I promise to keep it light,
And not make a scene.
I promise to not drag you into my personal fight
If you will just stay through the night.

I promise to be quiet,
and laugh at all your jokes.
I promise not to ask ever again
If you will stay with me.

I got a call later,
When I stayed up late one night.
You were gone forever,
You promised me one night.

This is a random poem about a man in the military who left for Iraq and didn't come home to his wife.
