Promise.

I can't suffocate you

In the way I do

I can't help them consume you

when you are the one to give that space for me to breathe

I can't toxicate you

Like the way they plan to

I can't help them murder you

your veins are inside me

your roots feel the very existence of me

I am made of you

I cannot betray you

I promise you

I will never betray you

Because you are me

& I am you.
