Poem: Will you still love me?

Will you still love me when it all fades away?

When my wounds are fresh, when my ends are frayed?

Will you still love me when scars turn to wounds?

When I'm aching and bleeding, and so desperately need you?

Will you love me at my worst, when I tell you what he did?

How he hurt me and used me, and badgers me to no end?

Will you still love me when the day comes I won't eat?

When I hate every part of myself, and see things you'll never see?

Will you still love me when I ache, bleed, and scream?

When it's all washed away, will what you see now still be?

Will you still love me, even when things aren't so great?

You love me at my best, will you love me at my worst?

Will you still love me even when I scream their names?

When the lights go down and confetti falls, will you still trust that you're the one?

Will you still love me, even when I'm old and gray?

Or when it's two AM, and a baby screams, I pray,

That you'll still love me, through all the hoops, tears, and pain.

I pray that you'll still love me, and love me just the same.


Sincerely,
-Katie
