No Longer Home
I wish I could forget you like a photo that
Has been torn and lost in the fire, but how
Can one throw away years of friendship
And a deep attraction? When you flat
Out told me that you would never allow
Yourself to hurt me, but you did. Like a ship
Wreck all you can do is watch and hope
For the best all the while you ruined any
Chance for redemption. The memories
Are still there, but the truth is the rope
To hold them together is frayed. As many
Months went by, there were no remedies
To the pain I was feeling or all the tears
Refusing to come. All I could do was pray
For warm sun to come. My family and
Friends warned me, but all the real fears
Came creeping in when I know I stayed
Longer than I should have. Your hands
And voice had the power to bring me home,
But now I am homesick for the feeling you
Used to give me and now you are giving it
To someone else. I am now free to roam
With no reason to worry about your blue
Sky anymore. Maybe I no longer fit
Into your puzzle anymore, but I am my
Own puzzle. I give myself the power to fly.
