I Will Carry You

Islème Sassi (2017) for Tyler

No, I wouldn't claim to know you

Those few times

We spoke only a thousand words

I don't know where you live

Whether you remember your dreams

In the morning when you wake

Are you scared of anything

I don't know nothing

About your family

Do you like them

Do you celebrate Christmas or don't you

Do things like that

I don't recall the colour of your eyes

How did you slip into the inner core

Roots down deep you plant your seed

Out of reach and I can't do but carry you

Yes, I might be mistaken

It could be all happening in

My own reality is bright

Shining like

The future don't scare me no more

I am cast in thoughts of you when I wake

In the morning you are there

I might mean nothing

To you I'm just another girl

What can I do but shoulder you

There lies beauty in giving in

There lies truth in letting go

I never really know

Do you win only when on top

I'm on the floor on my back tasting blood

I don't mind

I don't really

Mind cause and effect

Mind the conservation of energy

I'll get up and carry you.
