New Month Crapoem, 1

I've decided to try my hand at poetry again throughout July. Doesn't mean I'm posting a daily poem, but I've challenged myself to write a few during the month.
For this first one, I'm just going to start typing and see what comes out...

Tell me something lovely.
Something.
Anything.
Tell me my eyes sparkle like stars, or my lips are made to be kissed.
Tell me, because I need to hear it.

Take me somewhere beautiful.
Somewhere.
Anywhere.
Take me to an island where lava tumbles steamily into the sea, or the Moon looks bigger than a mountain.

Tell me something will change.
Anything.
Everything.
Tell me my heart won't be broken slowly, or my soul crushed beneath yours, or my hope dashed on the rocks like a wayward sailboat.

Take me somewhere new.
Anywhere.
Nowhere.
Take me to an oasis built just for us, or a cave where the lies and the past can't find us.
Take me to our future.

Tell me something new.
Unspoken.
Undamaged.
Tell me your mistakes are over, and your repetitive regrets are behind us.

Tell me the truth.
And mean it.
