An Oath To My Lover

I will always take you
Just as you are,
On any given day,
And do my best
To encourage you,
To support you
And to help you feel
The joy you have craved for so long
And so deeply deserve, my love.

I will help you
Tend your wounds,
Soothe your scars
And face your demons
So you never have to be
Alone, ever again.

I will do this without expectation
Of praise or reward
Because I have already felt you
Do all of this
For me.
