You can write me a poem baby, if you want.
You can write me a poem baby, as many as you like.
You can write me a poem baby, every day and night.
You don’t have to write me a poem filled with words.
You don’t have to compose sonnets or limericks, or whatever kinds of poems there are.
You don’t have to use thousands of pretty words.
You don’t have to talk about the moon and the sky.
You don’t have to say I’m an angel.
You don’t have to say I’m your every breath.
You don’t have to say anything.
You don’t have to say or write pretty sweet words.
Baby, I’d rather you write me a different kind of poem.
Write a poem for me with not your words, but your actions.
You don’t always have to say you care a thousand different ways.
I’d rather hear that poem.
The poem you write should say I can trust you, show me I can trust you.
Smile and laugh sweetly at my quirks.
Show patience when I don’t understand.
Don’t ridicule or put me down.
Don’t harshly judge me when I show you my scars.
Don’t laugh at me when I tell you about the monsters that follow me.
Hold me so I feel safe with you.
Hold me close and kiss my lips.
Hold my hand and walk beside me.
The poem you write should say you will be faithful to me.
Now I don’t mean stare at me.
Search for me, look for me, don’t give up on me.
Because there will be times where I will hide.
Because there will be times when I will try to hide from the world.
Because there will be times when those monsters I told you about will take me.
Because there will be times that I will run from everything.
When that happens, don’t stop searching for me.
When that happens, don’t give up on me.
When that happens, don’t avoid the labyrinth covered in thorns.
When that happens, don’t walk away.
Look for me, search for me, call for me in that labyrinth.
When that happens and you finally find me, then speak sweetly.
Say those pretty words in a pretty poem,
because it will be the sequel to that beautiful poem you already wrote for me.
You know which one, right?
The one where you showed you cared for me first,
before you said those words.
