To Be Honest

Short Story #8

Cross my heart,

Hope to die.

I'll stay awake

With you all night

To wipe your tears

To sing your song

To wipe the blood

dripping from your wrist so long.

To look you in the eye

and say to you

"You're beautiful

And you should believe it too."

To say those 3 words

"I love you"

You know I would,

You know its true.

If you can

Do this for me

My heart would rest easy

As it has been longing for weeks

Cross your heart

Hope to live

Promise to give me

All you can give

Give to the world

Everything from your core

And to love me the best you can

But love yourself even more.
