a tiny wick that hotly sits on wax filled with perfume

burns and turns the darkened room a lighter shade of noon

like ants tap dancing on the roof, the rain begins to pour

and here, with you, my dreams come true, like many times before

invited in, we’ve always been. “You don’t have to stay in there.”

but stay the day we’re glad to, for this home is ours to share

though cold and old and creaky as she fights for our next drive

there’s strength at length that’s yet to come, in here we feel alive

her face the grace of royalty, she’s proud to not display

to camouflage her entourage is where she makes her play

her moans and groans the lullaby’s that sing us sweet to sleep

she smiles with every mile that she tucks beneath her feet

she stores more in her cupboards than dried goods and our clothes

the memories of you and me and more are what she knows

our fears are shared our burdens bared, her walls our secrets hide

forever time will show that I’m much better for her ride
