treasure trap

i promise to only remember the good things

i promise to drive better


i promise to never talk about the weather or the color of paint i'd prefer or if that tree should be trimmed or if the calendar is still on december in the new year or if the bed is made in the morning


i promise i'll let you play the music


i promise i won't worry what kind of shirt to wear or the kind of things i should say


i promise i'll stop twisting your words 
and i'll let go when you're ready

but
you
won't
consume
me .
