Castle O'Carry
Oh, carry me back
Back to the days
The days before you
~*~
Before you were someone
Someone to love me
Love me and leave me
Alone by the sea
~*~
Alone by the sea I'll stay, waiting and wondering
Wondering if ever your love was for me
~*~
For me you were perfect
Perfect and darling
Darling, my dearest, forever you'll be
~*~
Forever you'll be in my head and my heart, dear
Dearly I hold hope you'll come rescue me
Rescue me now from this castle's old turret
The turret from whence I shall soon cease to be
~*~
Castle O'Carry
Oh, carry me back
Back to the days
The days before you
Before you were someone
Someone to love me
Love me and leave me
Alone by the sea

Dark Memoirs - Index There are at least two kinds of people in the world: those who write this half-arsed kind of intro to a story that looks to separate the rare and the norm, and those who realise it's an overused framing device and don't.

well done
beautiful rhythm and Edgar A. Poe--ish. Beautiful
Exquisitely penned a heartbreaking shanty!! Loved it!!💕❤️❤️
Lovely
Well-wrought! The rhythmic flow of this is superb! Had it been Mario that found her at the castle, he'd have been so relieved, but, alas, so few are as good a dude as our prodigal Italian plumber! (If you don't get that joke, I apologize! Dad's gotta dad-joke! Keeps our nervous systems aligned or something... "The princess is in another castle".)
Absolutely flawless. I’m going to jump on the band wagon and say that this should definitely be a top story!
I’m all in on this one, Christy. Achingly lovely and lonely. I’m with LC. This has TS written all over it!
Second L.C.'s nomination! great work.
I love this, and I'm having a tantrum if it doesn't get Top Story ❤️ The rhythm of it is perfect, like being swayed on someone's arms, and the echoes on those lines add to this effect.
Pure lyrical excellence! A delightful read, Christy! Love the “Castle O'Carry Oh, carry me back” couplets!
It does feel like a song, like Rapunzel high up in the turret letting down her hair. Such a lovely nostalgic poem.
This piece needs a melody!
This felt so lyrical and I sang it to my own tune! It was so poignant, relatable and so beautifully written! I loved it!
Christy, it's amazing to me how this urge for love is so universal and so old. We all feel it and you have elegantly represented this idea.
I feel like this is an old lament. Familiar, yet new.
This reads like a traditional song, Christy from years ago.
A very beautiful read once again You always come up with unique ideas to write
