I wanted to end it period
But I continued with a comma
Renewed excitement by exclamation
Sometimes why the question marks
     Of which feels like indentation
The start of a new paragraph
Marks the preposition
Of a new start

I would promise you infinite today's,
If tomorrow was guaranteed.
I would promise you my heart,
If it wasn't locked away indeed.
I'd promise you all the right words,
If but one would stay.
I'd promise you every ounce of love,
If not for fear of it failing,
I'd promise you effort and growth,
Unending desire between us both.
The one I seek,
So these promises,
I can keep.

To be an intellectual, you have to see in tells you act.
Pieces of my character dissipate as I get played.
I grow tired of this act, as I wish to be the lead.
So, i rewrite my script and forge my own story.
I overcome and stand on my own.
Thinking for myself until my final curtain.
Despair being a better teacher than love.
You took pieces of me.
I just want to be whole again.
