Can You Hold

Darling, can you hold me

do you have the strength

dearest, my confession

I can’t tell you it at length

 

baby, I can’t cease the matter

now, I’m in my youth

I don’t want to burden you

but can you hold the truth

 

sweetest, you can hold my hand

but can you hold your tongue

I say again, I can’t stop now

not yet dear, I’m still young

 

lover, can you hold together

me, when I subside

the way I walk is dangerous

so can you be my guide

 

now darling you can hold me

but I don’t have the will

to put you through the things I do

you’ve more than had your fill

 

I set you free unburdened, love

an act that you won’t bless

but dear I swear, I let you go

so you won’t feel the rest
