Promise

I know I am hard to deal with,

the way I word the way I am feeling.

How I tell you I don't want to eat another thing for the rest of my life,

how I tell you I want to die, or slice lines into my skin until I can see blood coming up.

But the way you ignore me after I tell you,

like you are scared of who I am or the way my head works; hurts me

It makes the empty feeling I tell you about more noticeable,

and you promised me on metal swings,

when I heard birds chirping at us,

when I felt the sun slowly soak into my skin,

that you would never hurt me.
