All I Ask Is That You Remember

“All I Ask Is That You Remember”

May I ask a bit of your time?

I have a few things I would like to share.

That is if you will take the time to read,

Assuming of course you care.

I have few redeeming qualities.

That lift some people’s hearts.

I am a valuable friend at times.

When at edges things fall apart.

I claim to be no angel,

Far from any sort of saint.

I will deny any knowledge of tools.

I will not help you move or paint.

But I carry a light,

Into the darkest of places.

And in the dimmest of nights,

I can bring a smile to faces.

But I will forever,

Never be more than me.

Please never ask,

To share my presence with he.

He who forced me to a place,

Where the harshest part of myself resides.

I’ve no shame in admitting.

For this part of me,

I have no pride.

 

All I ask is that you remember,

It was never me who lied.
