The Annals of Mac North

My heart has grown heavy
Too heavy really for me
To carry or even lift
And so I asked you for help.

You took in yours my hand
And together we made a stand
You gave willingly to me a gift
Too broad and deep to be felt.

But our strength began to fail
As we held your burdened heart with mine.
We got the point like the tip of a nail:
We can never be enough combined.

“So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone.
And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow.”
- C. Oberst
