In your Serenity
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
I put on your soft slippers
And I walk around your life
I carry your thoughts closely
Deal with love, and with knives
I think of how well I wear them
And how warm they make me feel
Sometimes I wonder:
What is it? What's the great big deal?
But mostly I just eat
and sleep and try hard not to cry
At the music wrapped around my thoughts
When I do not want to die
As if I died I'd know you
With a look upon a face
And a somebody to be there
Without needing to carry mace
