Daylight, a Story

There is no place like home Days like this Lovers kiss It’s this forbidden trend That I miss She said there’s no place like home There we were Cast lonely Within a tomorrow to never come Lets not rush away This moment There we were beneath the sun Amongst a joyless fun To no where We were coming from And when it’s done, it’s done No matter the whispers The pencil, the pen Amidst my aspiring thumb Treasure your values Remember There was a time When things were Oh so simple When a smile Was a crease From dimple To dimple When wind That was once blown Took you way But you were never Too far gone And she said Don’t you wish You were home Respects properly sewn No mercy shown And if we can't understand Our misfortunes Taste happiness Capture a portion Like never before You will die But you will never live A child, a fetus Subject to abortion My friend I once heard That there was no place Like home As I was lost in conduct My misfortunes remain The casualties With in my tear ducts No worries It’s what I’m here for Test this soil And like Arabs And protestant values I’ll die for oil A few more ruins to spoil My plot to live once more Began And was later foiled And as she once more said “There’s no place like home” I saw daylight And in my journal Became this story I lay Loftily within a journal
