I promise to change
If the wind says it is okay
I promise to grow
if you are someone I know longer know
I promise to laugh
If my body allows me
I promise to sprint
if the sand around me should spin
I’ll follow it
To the depths
Of this
Where you stand
By the car
Waiting for me
I promise I cried
Or I shook myself as I tried.
I promise it hurt
There’s a million scuffs marks on my heart’s t-shrit.
I promise the lights
Are the best way to say goodbye
I promise I’ll go
There’s no other thing I currently know
Collapsed in snow
How our bodies wouldn’t glow
Decidedly so
I’ll come home
To a place I have never
Been shown.
