promise yourself this

On Audio --> here

promise yourself this

no matter how utterly
hurtful
something may feel
when words are hurled
towards you
even direct
and sometimes
on purpose

like a tornado
an earthquake
like Mother Nature
breaking,

finally

and when all the dark chasms of this Earth

break, open
and the plates of this planet
you were born onto
crash into one another

birthing molten lava
that spreads upon your heart,
molding an ashen sculpture

and even as the beasts that exist in the void,
oh, such evil winged creatures,

begin flying above you
as your spirit lie
breathless, exhausted, wasted
and the last atoms
that are left
create

a
nuclear
reaction

promise yourself this

that if one chooses
or does not even know
that they are releasing
all of their insecurities
angers
hatreds
confusions
afflictions
desires
passions
and eventually

all of their love upon your very soul 

promise yourself this

please

simply
forgive.
