The Promise

The Promise

A Poem by Realyfe
"

You know who you are...

"

I can promise you the world,

If you can promise me the stars;

I can promise you a home,

If you can promise me it's ours;

I can promise you life-long happiness,

If you can promise me docility;

I can promise you the truth,

If you promise to be real with me.

 

I can promise you my body,

If you promise that you have the guts;

I can promise you the healing,

If you promise to provide the cuts;

I can promise you the death,

If you can promise an afterlife;

I can promise you the husband,

If you can promise me the wife.

 

I can promise you the heart,

If you can promise me the chest;

I can promise you I'll be right,

If you can promise that I won't be left;

I can promise you security,

If you can promise me the system,

I can promise to tell you everything-

If you will only promise to listen.
