The things I would do for me and for you.

. . .

It's ironic really.
How I stick to my word and
Others can never really
do the same

It's quite tragic really.
You are the one who made me promise
I'd never leave, no matter what
Then you chase me away,
Say I'm too much
And that you really can't
deal with me anymore.

And when you've chased away everyone
With your fork shaped tongue,
And there is no one left to deal with your mess
Despite my every instinct,
I stick to my promise,
And came back for you
So you wouldn't be alone
With all your problems
So you wouldn't feel I
abandoned you,
Left you to die,
Didn't care anymore
About you or  your life.

No matter how many times,
You chase me away,
At the end of the day
I'll always come back
Because I promised to
And I will stick to that.

So don't you ever
Say I didn't try
Say I left
With no explanation
Say that I wasn't there for you
When you needed me most

Because if you ever knew me,
You'd know that's a lie
You'd know that I could never
leave someone to die
Despite your cruelty
And all your hate
I will stick with you.
Because I promised to stay.

Even if you are the type of person,
To leave me by the roadside
With a bullet wound in my chest
Then say you meant nothing by it,
It was perfectly okay,
I will never get rid of you
Because I know that maybe
There are some things people say
As a result of having a bad day.

I am that type of person
To hold all your secrets close
Even when we aren't on speaking terms
Even if you tried throwing dirt on all of mine.
