Madison Balmont Poet I do not know?

Oh, Sweet

So innocent looking,
I wear your heart
On my bracies.

For the town to see and to know,
You could have been mine,
If I wanted.

You could have been here.
If it wasn't for the best,
Then why did you go?

I need to know.
I had a crush on you,
But I couldn't let you know.
I wouldn't have it spoil my plans.

But now, I'd give it all away,
Just to have you stay.
If you'd promise..
Promise me, promise me,
Promise me this:

Trust and loyalty,
Secret virginity.
A sea full of anythings,
All for protecting me.
Shoot down our enemies.
Holding out for specialities.
Spoiling for uncertainties.
Love for eternity.
Free me,
Free me.


~Written in 2005 (Monday, 31st, January) when I was sixteen.
