With every step and word I take,
With every heartbeat that won't break,
All I ask is certainty,
Don’t come near if you can’t guarantee.

This isn't a game, not just a phase,
My heart's not for temporary stays.
Scars I carry, wounds that scream,
Memories haunting every dream.

If you're unsure, then turn around,
Don’t build hopes just to knock them down.
I’ve faced enough of love’s cruel dart,
Don't add more pain to this weary heart.

If you enter, hold me tight,
Promise you won’t fade from sight.
Love me deeply, strong and pure,
Come to stay, or don’t for sure.

So hear me now, and take to heart,
Don’t play a role if you can’t start.
I seek a love that's true and bright,
To stand beside me, day and night.
