I'll be there

When wild vines choke the road and thick leaves block the sky, 
leaving you lost under a canopy of darkness - I'll be there.
When the paths before you look foreign and strange, 
and the signs all point to nowhere - I'll be there.
The day you decide to use me and betray the feelings we once shared, 
turning forked tongue toward my waiting ear - I'll be there.
When the end comes and forces us to part and you walk away, 
leaving me alone on a rocky pier - I'll be there.
Soon enough you will realize what you have lost, 
and in a vain attempt to reclaim my love.
You search for me where I was as if frozen in time, 
but you find only a memory with words frozen on its lips.
............. 'I'll be there.'
