Take my life
It's your life too
I gave it up
so I got you

Take my hand
You'll take my heart
don't let it go
I'll come apart

and once my seems
begin to rip
you will forget me
bit-by-bit

The author's comments:
This poem was inspired by a song by elvis. The line says "take my hand, take my whole life too" and the line made this poem come to me. So I guess I should give some credit to Elvis for inspiring me. Thanks Elvis!
