It's a Promise

It's a promise 

Every moment,
with every single breath I take,
it's a new promise,
new chance,
to make.
To make it  better,
then one before,
before yesterday.

Every morning,
after I open my eyes,
there is one more hope
for us,
one new start.
So,
what should,
or could,
I do today?
that is better,
and different
then yesterday,

So,
please ,
you....... tell me......
Weld a heart out of steel,
for you,
I can do that.......
Build a steel cage,
to cage my self in,
I can do that......
To live for you,
make you laugh,
I can do that......
Die for you,
so you don't have to,
I can do that.......

but. don't ask me 
to leave you alone,
don't ask me that,
anything,
you may ask,
but ......

A beautiful poem! It expressed the extreme steps of what individuals would do to capture another persons heart even though there is no guarantee that love one will stay. Have a beautiful weekend Simmplissity= Patricia Lewis
