This one isn't mine but I needed to put it up. More poems of mine soon for those who care.
Her window was hung like a painting
She worried it might come to life.
She stared for hours.
So obsessed was I and self-absorbed that I
Didn't see that she was
Crying.
There was always someone carrying
There was always someone carrying
Always someone's carrying _____
There were times when I'd find myself saying to Friends
"you don't understand"
And "She's different when it's just me and her".
I closed the door and I tried to hang on and she
Sank into the dark.
I was over my head.
There was always someone carrying
There was always someone carrying
Always someone's carrying ____
We gave you everything
You could have been anything
We gave you everything
You could have done anything
But to imagine a fall
With no one at all
to catch you.
There'd always been someone.
Then one night she climbed into the picture frame
Out in the frozen air
And out of sight.
Woke up sad from this dream I've been having
The last couple nights or so.
With her father and brothers we're all at the funeral.
Carrying a box through the rain.
Then somebody said
"It's always been this way."
Always someone's carrying...
There was always someone carrying.
Always someone's carrying _____.
Thank you.
