Carry Me Home
One
I
The look. A few words, here and there. Everywhere. A red dress. Neon city lights. A soft kiss. A time turner. A ring. A promise.
I’ll give you everything I never had.
II
Staggering eyes. Drip, drip, drip. Breathe in and out. In and out. Soul in, soul out. Ripples in the pond water. Bath tub blues. A soapstone kiss. A child in my bosom.
I’ll give you everything I never had.
III
A few harsh words. The clatter of dishes. A high pitched cry upstairs. A grease stained shirt. Rough hands. An apology. Another look. Another soft kiss. The echo of a train outside.
I’ll give you everything I never had.
IV
Twenty thousand memories. Raspy floorboards. A few broken things, but they are easily repaired. The soft walls in the chambers of my heart. Carry me home. The world turns anyway.
And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
