Air Travel

A Cicely Carter original - written on Paris Pike on the way home from work

if nothing eva really dies
then did my love for u just
stay on ground waiting for u to board
while I was really flying high
amongst the clouds

waitin for u to come along?

was it something i said
that really changed
the course of this flight?

or did u cancel the itinerary at the last minute?

was i only a test flight to break in
the plane for the next passenger?
or was i much anticipated,
the 1 u had been dreamin about boardin all this time?

i only regret i never got to see our destination.
my trip to Love ended
with a layover in Heartbreak

here i remain.

reclaimed my suitcase
from baggage area 808

i'm waitin for u here
giving u the last chance

my heart beats on the conveyor belt
churning through with the rest of the freight

pick Her up
or She's gone for good.

I only write when I am emotionally moved to do so. He did this to me. Some of the realest lines I've written in months. Felt good to get it out...This is a work in progress. As u read it now is in its raw form, just like the words flowed to my head and down to the pen and on the paper.
