(THE SWEETEST BURDEN) THANKS FOR THE WORD PROMPT LATOYA.
I will carry you in my ❤️ forever.
A piece of me as surely as these eyes I saw you with.
These hands I touched you with.
These tears in the waking hours, another dream.
I sigh.
So many memories and I would wish them away.
The pain.
So intriguing and I along for the journey.
So many lessons, some good, some bad.
I lost in a well of emotions and good intent.
I would stand in your defense against an army of haters.
So much inner turmoil as these days fall away.
The shadows growing longer as I alone wander this plane.
A griot, a bard, a misunderstood stranger.
Your smile imprinted on my soul.
I alone in this cave, contemplating these last moments.
A moment in the annals of man, a second cosmically.
I will carry you,
My 💓.
Forever.
