Emile Pinet Poet Free verse

I'm Home

The city can be an unfriendly place:
harboring schemers that prey on the weak,
the timid and the insecure.
I never felt at home
in a big city environment.
I spent my youth in a small village
nestled in the woods:
literally in the middle of nowhere.
And I've never felt
emotionally comfortable:
away from home.
But all that changed:
the day I met you.
We dated; we were wed,
and we got a place of our own.
And for the first time in a long time,
I feel I belong.
My anxieties have disappeared,
and I can't explain it:
other than to say, I feel loved;
for when I'm with you, I'm home.
