Promises

by Deanna Lupin

Sometimes it's hart to get rid off old nightmares. Sometimes it's almost impossible to forget what one had to endure. Sometimes it hurts to think, to move, to live. But if someone loves you, it's not so bad, isn't it?

PROMISES

Listen to my eyes

when they're calling out for you.

Look at my fingers,

when they're dancing on your skin.

Touch what you possibly can't touch -

this strange thing right inside me.

Dream of things you've never dreamt of

and I promise I'll fulfil your dreams.

Talk about things you fear the most

and I promise you won't be afraid of them any more.

Just don't look at me like this,

don't haunt my eyes

with images of you wounded, bleeding and alone,

don't let me burst into tears

at the sight of you broken.

You didn't deserve rotting alive,

you don't deserve any more burdens

(but though, you deserve my tears, my dear friend),

you don't deserve this unconsciousness,

those fears of yours, those brokenness.

Talk to my, my dear friend,

I know opening isn't easy at all

but just...try to trust me again

as you always did in happier times of ours.

Remember that rain isn't as cold here

as it was there,

storms aren't as horrifying

as they were there,

soil isn't as damp and dark.

Remember that rainbow appears

every time you feel broken-hearted.

Remember that I have enough life

for both of us.
