Because I Love You.


Because I love you, I promise to chase your demons away and become your angel. I promise to be the shoulder that the tears may fall on. I promise that whenever you feel like giving up on your religion, that I will have you believe maybe not in God but in me. I won’t let anyone be in the way that jeopardizes our love. I promise to lay my gentle hand on your broken heart and mend your soul with my loving gaze. I promise to wash the bruises that words have caused away. I shall undress my thorns and trust you to pick and care for me. I trust you to grab my heart and cover me in gold and cut all my drowning chains away and cradle my broken pieces together. I shall be the ears to listen to your nightmare beauties and turn them into some black love tale. Because I love you, forever is possible for us.
