Torn Between Loyalty
As I live in the land of free and home of brave,
I felt you are buried deeply into a dark grave.
No longer can I see your beauty,
Living with only memories, for eternity
Each day bits of memories fade.
How to tell you, you haven't been betrayed.
When I left you, the country I lived in for so long,
I never thought I would live to go on.
How could I leave the home that I have known
For a world, where I will be all Alone.
Some how, each day brings a friend who would care.
Sharing the happiness that takes away my despair.
Now my loyalty is torn apart,
wondering, where exactly should I start
Should it be the home that I long left?
Stealing the memories that I always kept
Or should it be my home that is now
Forever that I should vow?
In the end no matter how hard it may be
For the two worlds I guarantee
Every moment you are in my heart
From now until from the world I depart.
