The Wooden Chest

You know that you're not in the way.

By Danielle ConnellyPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

When I leave you on the wooden chest,

that holds all of your things,

I know that you don't mind.

You know that your not in the way.

I think your just glad I had the strength to

leave the house without you that day.

That's not often though,

as I need you by my side,

to pursue all of my dreams,

and bind up all my ties.

You know that your not in the way.

I just really needed you with me,

when I left the house that day.

When I do leave you on this chest,

It is always for good reasons.

You'll be safe when I return,

Captivated in my home.

You know that your not in the way.

I just needed you to be there,

When I returned home that day.
