Home

Dreams we dreamt together
came crashing to the shore,
home is home no more.

Where I nestled in your arms,
that bed is filled with thorns.
Trying to reclaim my home,
now filling it up with strangers
for the fear of living alone.

On all levels I stand betrayed
you brought in our home
your greed, lust and mistrust.

When did you become this,
using words couched in
hate, legality and unrest.

Place where you said you’ll
abandon your fears
holds my fears now.

All my fond memories
love and all that
comes to naught here.
I pray this nightmare
comes to an end that’s fair.
