But

You say you love me

And say you would take me true.

I like you and us. But

will you take my demons too?

You say you like me smile

And the pictures I with my words drew

Those are most pretty. But

will you take my sorrows too?

You say I take you to the sweetest spots

As you laugh under the yew

 I told you just the funny ones. But

will you hear for my tragedies too?

You say we make a handsome couple

And hang our pictures in purview

Oft though I rem and I cry. But

will you frame my red eyes too?

You licked your lips and smacked your tongue

When I cooked your favorite stew

That was a feast. But

Will you drink my poison too?

You embraced me as we sat,

By the fire just us two.

Ours was the warmth. But,

Will you hug my loneliness too?

You said I lit your fire

And heavy a breath you drew  

We were in rapture. Will you But

Moan, when I blurt Her name too?

So this is what I am to give

The laughter, the love anew,

The passion and with that. But

Will you take; Me too?
