I Promised
Ntsika H Jun 2019
I gave her my heart
I placed it in her hands
I know she’s clumsy
But
I trust her

I made her a promise
I told she could keep my heart forever
No conditions
I told her that it’s an honor

Regardless of the outcome - it’s an honor
To be held by love in its purest form
To be in love with her
To be with her - a blessing

I made her a promise
I said I would never intentionally hurt her
If I ever did - it would never be on purpose
I’m clumsy too
I’m insecure
I overthink
A lot.
It’s overwhelming

I made her a promise
To make sure she knows I’m here
Even on her worst days
I’d be Superman to her Smallville

I made her a promise that she would wake up next to me every morning
I made her a promise that we would be forever - together
I made myself a promise to never lay eyes on one as beautiful as her

As scary as this may sound - to me
When I said all of this
I never had my fingers crossed

I Am Not Him
Ntsika H Aug 2019
He lied
He said he loved you
He lied
He said he cared
He lied
He said he couldn’t live without you
He lied
He said that he was the luckiest man alive
He lied

He lied and I didn’t
I told you I love you
I told you that I care
I can’t live without you
He’s not the luckiest man because I am

I am not his mistakes
I am my own mistakes

I fall down
I get back up

I don’t stop
I keep going

Why?

Because I have you
You’re my secret weapon
When they ask how I do it I just smile and say that I just don’t stop

I just don’t stop going because you keep me going

— The End —
