There Goes My Home
The only home that I have known,
was squeezing my blood out of stone.
I have been told it's freezing cold,
I think this home needs to be sold.
Too vandalized for me to hold, at least
I will be given gold, a feast if I can be
so bold.
The doors are gone, the windows too
but keep this between me and you.
To sell this shell and start anew, is
something that I have to do.
This four walled, stair cased empty
crypt, these sections I eventually skipped.
In essence I must be equipped, by lessons
learnt and efforts slipped.
Tell Orpheus; "The time has come", his
farewell song is finally sung.
I was too young to love this space, so I
grew up to hate this place, a refuge that
was laid to waste.
This broken palace to my disgrace became
a dream too late to chase.
I must escape in such a haste, this disgust
is too much to face, just dust that I can
touch and taste when all I need, is a warm
embrace.
