I am but yours to take by d.s.l.

I am but yours to take

Take me and make me into your own liking

My image shall be your clay

And my spirit shall be at yours to play 

Don’t leave or let me be

For to be me is just empty, 

A little self and nothing else

To be yours is to be free, 

A creation spell and everything else

Let me be to you, your water or your earth

Use me as tears or make me just dirt

Fill your cup with the spring I give

Or plant your life upon my rib

I am but yours to take 

A life once born and a life once died

I made you laugh and I made you cried 

Yet still, don’t leave or let me be

Weave me into your tales and make me into your songs

Let me be your last “sorry” or your first “goodbye”

Keep me within but use me without

Let me be your only thing, your “never doubt”

And all I ask is here you see

Make me forever more; your memories
