I Carry You

i carry you like a suitcase full of boulders across the river
i carry you like a shotgun aimed for destruction, just pull the trigger
i carry you like the weight on every shoulder i’ve ever cried on
i carry you like a baby on a lonely doorstep with a lonely light on
 
i could lay you down for good but i am not that brave
so i carry you all the way to my grave
 
i carry you like a soldier out of the fire, still in the war
i carry you like an umbrella full of holes so when it rains, it pours
i carry you like a dancer spinning in circles to silent music
i carry you like a memory, don’t want to see it, don’t want to lose it
 
i carry you like a letter i keep on penning, but never sending
i carry you like a cancer, ever growing, never-ending
i carry you like the genome across the ages, the past has spoken
i carry you down a hallway full of photographs, the frames all broken
