Promise me
When I lay myself
Naked and unmasked
That you will never
Diminish me
Nor in my frailty bask
With your penetrating eyes
Promise me
When the moment comes
And all has passed
That you will always
Cherish
The parts that were too vast
With your passion in your chest
And the vexation on your tongue
Promise me
When I fail at being good
You will see my endeavour
And lift me up
With love
Before I fall deep into never
Promise me
Forever
