Tell me your flaws

So that I can tell you that no one even notices

Tell me your fears

So that I can tell you you’re safe here.

I want you to give me your soul,

In exchange I’ll give you mine.

Now the goal

Is to hold..

On to it

& guard it with your life.

Well reap great benefits like I’ll have a husband.. you’ll have a wife.

I want you to know that once it’s given to me ..

I’m going to put it in a lock

Put it in a box

Put it under the floor, in my mind.

It’s not going anywhere

Cause this is the only soul that I have..

Cause remember I gave you mine.

We have now swapped souls,

For a lifetime.

I fell in love with poetry at the age of 8. I am now 24. It’s my passion, it flows easily. Hear me when I speak.
