I say
You are my light in the dark
My shining star
She settles back into my arms
She is light
Her hair smells like coconut
I smell of liquor and decline
Without you I would be lost
You give me direction
A purpose for being
Quite a load for one so young
But I am old she whispers
And I do feel her as a mother
Or a sister
It is a special relationship
One I will share on my own terms
Truth be told
Alice is my life
She saves me
And soothes me
She is the loudest voice in my head
I like that
She says
Because she likes to feel important
I cannot say more about her
She is my world
My dreams
My friend
Perhaps that is enough.
