X-RAY

I can't promise I won't hurt you.
But, I promise I'll clean the wounds that I caused.
I'll stop them from festering under pleasantries.

I will bandage and kiss away the ache
I'll re-visit the scars that remain and remind you;
All these are a reminder of how bravely we fought for ourselves and each other.

I will love you the way I know how,
So let this be a promise.

One that I don't intend to break.
