Ex

Cross my heart,

Hope to die.

Stick a needle

In my eye.

If I lose you

While I sleep,

My broken sanity

I won’t keep.

 

What can I do

To make you stay?

To keep fighting strong

For one more day?

Allow you space

Or time to think?

Destroy our connection;

Our hollow link?

 

Stick around,

And refuse to leave?

Be the one person

You’ll always believe?

Just trust me

And hold on tight.

You can do it;

Keep life in sight.

 

Cross your heart,

Hope not to die.

Stick a needle

In your eye.

Promise me,

No matter what,

You’ll live on,

Like the X we cut.
