Carry

I take you with me when I go

In my car

In the rain

On the way home 

I cry for you when I go 

I feel the weight of your grief 

And the burden of your pain 

I pray for you in the shower 

To a god who shouldn’t let such things happen

And I can only hope to believe 

In life beyond 

The one that has been robbed from you 

I carry you

I carry you with me 

A new moon in Cancer

I feel it,
I feel it all

It’s my blessing
And my curse

The movement of tides
The phases of the moon
The rise and fall
Of your chest

The atoms spinning
in an electric dance
The planets spinning
in an electric dance

Within me
Without me

My skin does not separate

Me from the world

I feel it all
