The Promise - Part I

here is my complexities
and my pride
and my pain
I'm anguished
and I do not know how to love you in any other way than this
I do not know how to love you in any other way than this
to love you in any other way than this
than this love
I do not know
in any other way than this
I am weighed down by this
the weight of this
of my complexities,
my pride,
my pain.

I'm anguished

you promised..
