Sweet gentle girl,

my home had some smells

I wish to forget

humidity and sadness and rot

walked-on-eggshells

and sweet gentle girl

my home had some sounds

I wish to forget

slammed doors

unfound family shouts

but sweet gentle girl

this home has some smells

I cannot get enough of

honey and love and warmth

cans of sun-dried jokes

and sweet gentle girl

this house has some sounds

I cannot get enough of

laughter and passion

and safety and trust.

Sweet gentle girl

you are my home.
