Promises

Folder: 
Love Blossoms

I cannot promise
passion will not
lead to pain.

I cannot tell you
I will never
make mistakes.

But I can say
that who you are
won’t make me run away.

I can handle you;
I see the brokenness
and when I do
I just want to
hold you tighter.

Are you going to
give up
before you even try?

I am strong enough
to keep you together,
I am strong enough
for the both of us.

Don’t you dare think
you can fail me.

I care about you too much
to let you go
without a fight.

Stop being so afraid
of love.

It’s brutal and raw 
but it cures all.

It’s worth it.
That I can promise you.
