You came into my life as baggage

Baggage of a an old relationship

The relationship which left your mom with wounds

Wounds inflicted by another woman on woman

The woman that I love

The love that carried me out of depression

A depression caused by loss

Loss of a job, a house, a parent, a lover, a dog

The dog which had my heart

The heart that I gave to you

The you that is now just baggage
