Not a Home
this house is not a home
barren with bodies
cold with central heat
this house is not a home
no shared exchanges
just shared glances
this house is not a home
my feet drag everytime i enter
my soul dreads the key’s entry
this house is not a home
no love, no smiles
no hugs, no embrace
this house is not a home
i hurt, you hurt, we hurt
no communication, no expectations
this house is not a home
built on pettiness, pain is the cornerstone
this house is not a home
i want to create a safe space
in my mind
the living rooms of my mind hath no sanity
this house is not a home
i long for the day i can feel again under this roof
this house is not a home
i want to like you both again
this house is not a home
i want to love again
i want to feel free
i want to experience freedom
is the key in my pocket?
this house is not a home
this house is not a home
this house is not a home
