Louie came home today

LOUIE CAME HOME TODAY (E A D G B E)

 

Louie came home today with a sour look on her face. I didn’t have the heart to ask her. And I didn’t have the nerve to tell her.

So we both sat there in silence. With a beast feeding beside us. And the sunlight through the window made us turn our heads in shame.

 

We couldn’t tell what we wanted. So we went for walk round the block. The sky sighed at us, despondent. Like a mirror in my chest.

And I told them I was doing my best. But it didn’t feel like the truth. Like their eyes could see straight through. I said: Look Louie; you hurt like I do!

 

And we kept walking round the block until suddenly we were lost. But we didn’t really mind. And we kept on until the day became night.

And then it got light. We sat and watched the sunrise. We didn’t mind what we’d left behind us. We just let the world find us.

 

We didn’t mind what we’d left behind us. We just sat and let the world find us.
