Bring Me Home

What I'd like to give you, is an ounce of my perfume in hopes the familiar fragrance will remind you of me You once told me I smell like a magnolia in full bloom That was before your illness, neither of us did foresee I know you thought it best that I leave you for a while but I promised to be with you in sickness and in health Please let me come home to you. I hate living in exile Being with you, my love, is the measure of my wealth My perfume is not too sweet. It will not overpower you and has a hint of spice that keeps life from being a bore Don't you miss me being near you? Darling, if you do, tell me to come back and I'll be knocking on your door I long to hold you, and tell you everything will be fine Please stop shutting me out. My place is at your side The choice you made for me to go should've been mine Bring me home today, for our love cannot be denied ~ October 3, 2021 ~ Bring Me Home Contest Sponsor: Mystic Rose Rose

A lot of sadness in your verse Jenna, maybe he acted with good intentions so as not to drag you down as he battled his illness. Hope you've had a good day. Tom

I cannot but admire your wishes. Yet if there is a deadly infection, I will have to agree with the male. :)

I’d agreed, but not the kind of illness I had in mind. Thanks, Victor.
