lady loree

lady loree

you left the light on

for me

lady loree

you knew i was awake

but you didn't ask why

tea

warm hands

old chair

soft voice

you said

come sit here

so i did

lady loree

you never told me

to be quiet

you never made me

feel bad for crying

you just stayed

the rain was loud

the house was warm

your coat

on the back of the door

your shoes

by the stairs

i remember everything

lady loree

i don't know

if you knew

but i felt safe

there

for a little while

you called me darling

i pretended

not to like it

lady loree

i still remember

the light you left on
