Could we speak?
I begin to know you; though some secrets remain hidden
Even from one such as me.
I was before, remember then? Before time struck us down
If we met, today perhaps, an hour maybe less
If by some tear in time we both could meet,
Would you know me? Could you help at all?
You know I always seemed to fall
To places no one wants to go.
It seems it fell upon me then
To guard, to swear, and somehow end
up Holding Fast the secrets for all time.
And with them all I filled a vault, set the time lock then for never,
But secrets cut the steel with ease with torches of acetylene
And adding heat to lies that burned, to touch that makes my stomach turn
This truth that time cannot contain continues even now to claim its vengeance
On a boy now turned a man.
Even from one such as me.
