Promise

Try to not pick apart, from the appearance portrayed
the scars are stories, each blemish a chapter
they tell of hurt and love, days of rain, sun, shade
all combined to make my picture, not a perfect capture

Beneath lies a heart filled with love, passion and fire
full to the brim, it overflows, trying to get free
to give all it has, every thing you want, all you require
every beat a lingering kiss, for you from me

Never be fooled by this old face
inside is young, so much to define
so much to be, to embrace
so let me in to see you shine

Don't be put off by the outside view
within seats a sweet soul, truthful and honest
my words a plea, a loving way to make happiness come true
they never shy away, hide or stray, they just offer you my promise

Thanks for reading
Kyle
