Love Poem: I promise

I promise

I promise I'll give up,
Not today though
Not when I've left you in a state of confusion and pain.

I promise I'll leave,
Only if you promise to be ok
But I don't trust you, cause you know how to mask the hurt so well.

I can't promise to solve all your problems,
But I can promise to stick by your side 
When all hope is lost and you are giving up I'll still be there for you.

I know I may sound foolish and clingy,
I'll bare the names and embarrassments
Because for you I'd do anything just to make sure you're fine.

I've sacrificed alot for you,
I don't want a reward at the end
Nor do I want to be indebted to you
And when you're fine I might walk away.

I've come so far and I'm not stopping now,
For when you came to my life I knew I could withstand any challenges
I knew I couldn't leave you to rot in the dark but stay until you see the light.
