Welcome Home

Welcome Home I knew it the moment you looked at me That you would judge me and decide I was the guy you had in mind As the only one of his kind Too bad to say that you are not always On my mind; you are not my academic research Material that I’d fill plain pages with But forever in my heart; here with me you soul search Wait a minute for my fear to subside. I know you think I am the one who stands In front of you enchanting your evenings, Taking your breath away Truth be told; I borrow this image I bring to you. I leave myself at home, where I am safe to be As I know that you’d not like me But soon the owner of this image will come for it. When he comes, he’ll ask me for his image Or ask me to pay a high fee for it Give me a minute to go and pick my self Or bring my home to you so that with My home here and you in it I will feel safe to be me I have no money to pay the image owner But I have enough to bring my home to you Please forgive me for the inconvenience Of having to swap my self Understand that I was afraid you’d not like me My self at home is honest and adorable Now that I know you love me I can bring my home here for you to meet me And I give this image back to the owner It has been painful to be someone else A minute will bring you to my home Where you will meet with myself Close and personal; intimate and pure Welcome home. ©copyright.
