TELL SOMEONE

How do you tell someone you promised till death do us part,

That you feel strongly and straight from the heart,

They will be carrying more than their share

And for better, for worse, it’s worse that they’ll bear.

How do you tell someone that brings warmth to your heart

That this cross that you bear is tearing you apart.

Slowly but surely one thing at a time

Darkness will replace where the sun used to shine.

How do you tell someone that has counted on you,

That your broad shoulders, so strong and true

That moved mountains that got in your way

Is shrinking and weakening a little more each day.
