Swearing And Promising
By-Amanda D. Petty

I’m promising that I won’t hurt you or do plundering things to make you think twice. I know you need proof and I can understand. There are words that are in my heart that are trying to burst out, but I can’t seek for them. I will try and push them, just to tell you how I really feel.

For a long time, we knew each other, but something is telling me that we were more, before this life. I know that’s hard to grasp but I think it is so true. I might be crazy and I don’t care anymore. I was afraid of making a vow again. You know what happened with my past relationship and you know how much pain I was in, but this is a jump that I’m willing to take, just to be with you.

Before I make this vow, I want you to know that I’m beyond scared because I made this kind of promise and I got hurt. I know you aren’t him and I’m praying that you won’t be like him. Please God, take this fear away and let my baby know how hard this really is. What I’m promising is more than I vowed to my ex, because you are exceedingly different and I love you more than I could dream of.

From here on out, I’m giving you all of me. True, you have my heart but I want to give you my word, you have my trust, my world, and me. You won’t ever be lonely. You won’t cry of sadness ever again. You can’t lose me because I won’t let that happen again. If you cry, I will kiss that tear away. If you need someone to hear you, my ears are open. If you want me for a lifetime; I’ll say no because I need you forever. If you’re in the dark, I’ll be your light. When the mischievous spirit comes, call me and I’ll be the angel you need. You can’t be solo because I will be here. I promise that I won’t hurt you. I won’t stop wanting you in my life. I will be with you everyday of your existence. I can and will keep this as long as air fills my lungs. This is my oath that I will give you anything that you need and want. I will take care of you. After all of these years, you are still the one. You have my universe in your hands.

As long I’m seeing, I’ll only see you in my future and beyond.

More Than Poetry: I take “Pretty Petty Poetry” very, very seriously. Some people think poetry is very “old fashioned”, boring, and not that interesting. I can understand. To me, poetry is the true heart of a person. I describe it as: lyrics without any music. Because of my speech, I can’t talk fast or normal; discovering poetry has really opened me up.
