Why I Live Where I Do

Poetry by Jessica Karris

The wedding rings

Why do I live where I do?

Is it because I’m used to this place?

Is it because I like it here?

O r is it because I haven’t a choice?

No. I have a choice.

And it is clear,

I stay because of you.

My love, my soul, my life, my heart;

Where ever you are,

Is where ever I start.

If you go, I go;

If you stay, I stay.

If you live here, then so will I;

And if we were separated,

I would never get by.

A kiss, and a ring;

My yang to your ying.

So why do I live where I do?

It all depends on someone like you.
