Ah, together, maybe nay I tire as your keeper & kept slave Burden me not further beyond the grave I’ve naught to weigh against you Nor do I wish to be saved It’s as once echoed by loving tongues Take me into memories of stories true Carry into further that which we will never know Take me into stories that were true Carry what I will never know A little while a life may live touching what I could not forgive or stand beside, or call a friend That is the whole of it.
