Must I?

Must I be the outcome of two lovers lost?

One that died in war…

And the other dying of a broken heart?

Must I be the outcome of two people..

… truly in love… soul mates at that?

Must I?

Am I strong enough to carry them…

…upon my suppressant back?

… show them through my eyes…

…my life…

my actions?

Letting them live forever,

…seeing what their offspring…

their remains has accomplished?

I will carry them on,

…no matter what the weight…

…no matter how many tragedies along the way…

I will shine forth their love,

their joy and happiness as well as their pain,

their sorrow and sadness,

I will tell their tragedy.
