Folsom

I pack up these feelings and carry them home

The book I’m reading, love notes tucked into the folds

Never let me go

I’m finding meanings when I should feel alone

I won’t pretend to feel at home

I spell devotion in a hollow home

I seek directions to parts unknown

Never let me go

With a gesture so small you remind me how it was before

You say “I’m sorry, I know it’s hard to remember

You’re not alone anymore”
