I remember when you told me the news

It’s only an option I can’t refuse

You were straight faced with nothing less

Like a picture taken without a photo lens

Please promise me you won’t die

Even if the promise was a lie

I cross my heart and hope to die

I knew the truth couldn’t be true

I knew how to be special for you

we can’t go on the way we were

I knew that you could not be her

The genetics of love had changed

the catalysts of DNA rearranged

Couplets and triplets skipping across my poems

I’ve failed but failure is a part of my home

Please promise me you won’t die

Even if the promise was a lie

I cross my heart and hope to die

I could connect with her and temptation

are you even that person that I’ve known

now scars are the cross that go across your heart

your lies, my time, the facts, and charts

No matter how hard it gets

with our moments and regrets

I had a dream that my feelings had changed

I told you and you knew and felt the same

Please promise me you won’t die

Even if the promise was a lie

I cross my heart and hope to die

Promise me that you will never hope to die

Even if your promise is a lie

I cross my heart and hope to die
