Welcome Home

Welcome home
I've definitely missed you,
Things are changed
I see you have too.
This soft couch
You and I chilled on,
Its now ripped and messy
Because of me from nights long gone.
You probably don't remember
All the holes in the wall,
Those are from my fists
After you made that call.
I'm sure you remember
The sweet memories we wish could last,
Like a simple walk
Too bad my mind and time has passed.
Where did this glass come from
Those are bottles I've thrown,
In anger and frustration
Realizing I was on my own.
Nothing is the same anymore
Not even a simple kiss,
When you left all was lost
The feeling of your lips.
You say just lighten up again
Sorry I can't live up to that,
Because you caused my pain
To spiral and that's a fact.
You want me love you once more
But how can I when I'm broken,
All I had was myself to look to help
It is nothing but different.
