A Burden to Bear

A Burden to Bear:

Verse I:

(First Reply)

(1)

Is the enemy of my friend, my friend or enemy?

For all are keep close to gauge my envy

For one is keep close, for he deceived me

For he told a tale of a woman, I grew to call my sweet.

She slept around and worked the town,

That she is not a queen worth the crown.

My hatreds disgust -- grew a rage, -- words rampaged, her end of days.

She died, I cried, what to do?

The truth came out with on the blue --

Moon shines on the night of red.

I found the man, who told the lie.

The bible speaks of the keeper, the wrath provokes a reaper.

The graves birth still a swell.

His graves buried next to Belle.

My brother’s life…never to re-tell.

To my dearest sweet Belle, Rest in Peace.
