save me

branded on my arm forever

save me

i cry out

begging to be heard

no one knows

no one sees

except……

you see me

you see my faults and my fears

you see my pain

and in return

you say to me

i will

i can never forget

this one kindness

branded into my heart

like the tattoos on my arms

“i will”

i cry

and you answer

what did i do

to deserve such love?

what can i ever do

to show you

how much i love you?

save me

“i will”

save me

“i will”

save me

“i will”

forever and ever

“i will”
