Midnight Talks


I swear to myself 
that you..
will be fine

Regardless of the consequences
And..
I swear to myself 
That I will not bury myself 
To pay mind to those things 
That do not deserve 
My body..
Or 
My time

I swear to myself 
That things will not be easy
But they will mean something to me 
And 
If they mean nothing for someone else 
That those things
Will still mean something 
To Me

I Swear..I cross my heart 
And give it to you to protect 
To try again 
To show you that your efforts 
Have been recognized and valued 
And if they do not see your beauty
I will love you still ..

Because the only way that you can live now 
Is to never 
Ever look back again
