He peeled away layers of me,
In seconds.
Told me he would reach for the stars
If I wanted one.
Swore to me he would never leave
And I believed him.
This isn’t sorcery
Not a trick of the mind
Or a slight of hand.
He promised fields of ivory
Seas blue as the sky
Loyalty as thick as tar
Permanence in a temporary world.
I could not refrain from commenting. Very well written!
Thank you, I appreciate it.
