Bring Me Home

by Prince Jared   Aug 12, 2008


I'm walking through a park
A lamp post lights my way
It is cold and I'm here alone

With every single step I take
I am slowly walking away
From everything I've ever known

As I leave the warm glow
Of the shining lamp post
I look forward to the next one

It seems that every now and then
I pause and I look back
Onto the pieces of my broken past

So here I finally am
At the end of this lonely path
I wonder if I should go back

I turn myself around
I'm heading out of town
Which is the only other way out

    S'okay. By the way, I can't figure out how to eliminate some 'I's from the poem without taking away from the meaning I want it to have. Anybody have any ideas?

    I wasn't exactly picturing that when I wrote it, but okay! :) When I imagined was it being a humid summer night (because the lamp post lights the way), not bustling, but sort of walking slowly along, and of course, never reaching home.

    I'm getting a very clear picture of a snowy day and someone bustling thru the storm following the light of the posts, and finally reaching home.
    wow
