Poems
May 2020
Something you never leave home without?
He carries my heart in the soles of his shoes
So when he's looking down it's not because he has the blues
But lately it seems he forgets me at the door
He walks out into the world barefoot, sad and empty
I wish I could catch him before he leaves
Climb into his pocket and make him feel relieved
Watching from the window I am helpless as he sighs and frowns
On the window sill I sit on edge, patient and waiting for a chance to hold him
He looks like a person searching for something lost, something forgotten
But when he comes home he'll see it's me he has forgotten
I see him turn the corner of our street, he looks up at the window of our home
His gaze fills the room like sitting by a warm hearth
But he looks away and all that remains is the sounds of his shoes hitting the pavement
Our home is now cold and empty as he walks away
