PROMISE ME

look into my eyes baby
tell me you will carry our baby
say to me the name of our baby
promise me you will be my first baby

whisper into my ears darling
even if English rejects the word darling
if it is a crime to say darling
promise me you will ever call me darling

write with your pen Love
if jail is the home of Love
if it is a crime to love
promise me you will not cease to love
