Home Sweet Home

My heart is shattering As it sinks into my chest The feeling of emptiness Overcomes me Watching my little man drive away Unable to do anything Other than sit back And watch it happen He said he wanted to stay He didn't want to go back Many times, over and over he said "Mommy I'm really really gonna miss you guys" Tears filled my eyes I started to shake Felt like I was going to collapse Just trying to breathe This is only the start I will fight to the end My little man will be home soon Home Sweet Home

Good poem. I see you like to write in four lines sections. if you used a rhyming format a-b-a-b your poetry could be lyric or rhyme. - JH
