Title: Promise me, Primrose
Promise me, Prim,
you will do a better job
in this world than I will.
Your heart is too pure,
your soul too fine,
Do not grow as damaged as me.
Remember the sacrifices
and the Games I fought through,
it was all for you, Prim.
And when I returned home,
damaged and broken,
I found you hardened and strong.
Your heart is too kind,
your soul too generous,
you were born a savior.
Rue, I saw her in your eyes - her youth
you were both the same… and I couldn't save her
Promise me, Prim,
when the Capitol takes all that is good
in this world away, you'll rise above the ashes.
I never knew you
needed protecting,
my little sister, Primrose.
When my soul breaks,
and my sanity is questioned,
be the rock I once had in Dad.
When my life is threatened,
when Peeta is terrorized,
be the glue that remains between us.
Promise me, Prim,
you will understand what I do,
I do in this world for you.
I fight the evil
for the good,
for the life of my sister.
But I could not save you,
for you grew up far too soon,
I could not shelter you.
You strived to help people
in this crisis we called life
through the power of Coin.
I could not be more proud
of you and your choices
I only wanted the best for you.
Promise me, Prim,
you will continue fighting
for your heart is too strong.
I know you would never leave
without a fight for justice,
without lives you have saved stitched on your soul.
The little and timid blonde child
blossomed into a beautiful and strong
young woman, a woman I could never be.
I am too damaged,
my soul is too withered,
my mind plagues with nightmares every night.
Promise me, Prim,
you will sit with my daughter and son
as they play in the garden of primroses.
Promise me, Prim,
you will invade my dreams
with your sweet smiling face.
Promise me, Primrose,
your love for your family
will never go out.
Promise me that, Primrose,
for I will never grow tired of your memory,
your laugh, your light, your innocence.
Promise me, Primrose.
