Homecoming
I came home that night
To a house in the dark
The soot was everywhere,
The fire's art
Everything touched
A reminder
Of everything that had been
All things perceived
I couldnt believe
That you did this to me.
Something in me died that night
Was it my love or was it my hope
I always thought that we would make it through
In my naivety I truly believed
That love conquered all
That we would win
And that no illness on earth
Would ever intervene
Now I sit and I ask myself
Where is my peace
That will set me free?
