Dear Love,

I knew you loved me,

when you let me go.

You told me to run

as far

and as fast 

as I could,

and get away from you

and all the pain

and all the misery 

that came with you.

I can't,

no,

I can't.

Not after what we've been through

Not after what I've seen

Not after what we've done.

I won't leave you,

so stop pushing me away,

stop telling me things

that break my heart

just to get away from you.

Love,

Love you

and I can't help that.

I know you love me,

you made promises to me

to keep the demons locked away

to keep the monsters in the closet

to keep my memories from going bad,

You made these promises

knowing what they entailed

and now

you tell me things

that break me

and you

into small pieces

that can be scattered into the wind,

because

you don't want me to promise you.

Well it's too late,

I promise

to always be by your side

and always take care of you

and always listen to you

I promise

to always keep the monsters

and the demons

and the memories 

locked away 

as far 

as they can go.
