I Vow, Bastard

You knew what you were getting into

When you picked me — and you still did

I’ve never been tame, never been quiet

And I never fucking will

You don’t get the softest voice

Or someone who always holds their tongue

You get me — firecracker, sailor-mouthed

A storm with a sharp-stung lung

But I vow, bastard

To choose you every day

Even when I’m mad

Even when you’re smug

Even when I glare your way

I vow to love you

With every ounce of bite and grace

Even when you call me "wench"

Even when I roll my eyes

You’re still my safest place

I won’t always be easy

And I’ll never be controlled

But you don’t want a porcelain thing

You want someone real and bold

I vow to stay when things get hard

To talk when I’d rather flee

To remind you, even through my sass

You’re the only one for me

So fuck you

(You would)

We’ve said it more than once

But we both know what it means

It's our weird little dance

And it always ends in love between

So I vow, Omen

To be your chaos and your calm

To make you laugh when life gets loud

To wrap you in my firestorm

You’re the only one who sees me

Under all my stubborn pride

You’ve never tried to cage me

You just stay by my side

And that’s why I vow, bastard

To be your favorite mess

Your partner, your storm

Your never-silent, middle-fingered yes

So fuck you

(You would)

Forever’s never been this good

With my mouth, and your patience

And all that we’ve withstood

I vow to love you

Loud, fierce, and true

'Cause out of everyone in this world

The only one I’d drive crazy is you

So here’s my vow, bastard

From your firecracker bride

You’ll always be my Omen

Now buckle up — enjoy the ride.
