Promise

Written by:

Look at me, l am naked

Is this what you want to see? 

Your tears on my shoulder, my body you hold close 

But what would you have me do?

Men have promised, put a ring on it

Yet, I stand here bare before you

For my heart is burdened, and my soul is weak 

And my strength to love has ceased

But something in me tingles for you 

Then you cried, and you said 

“It’s been forever that I’ve been naked before you”

      After a convo with someone I know going through a particular situation, I proceeded to look at other women I’ve known that faced similar situations. Such, my pen simply got to work.
