If Only I Were Brave

My home is no longer a home
The rooms no longer smile
Strange figures drift through the halls
I can not give them my love.

My blood is grown and left
Replaced by a new day
A new man sleeps by her side
New children run at her feet.

I do not think myself selfish
I enjoy the emptiness of my room
But not of my heart
If only I were brave.

The basement is my domain
I am awaken by the screams
My past is always hovering
Haunting as i try to forget.

It is impossible to not think about
I could be so happy
Is It worth It to hurt her
Could I live with myself.

My life is torn into two broken homes
I find happiness in one
I will never know that happiness
If only I were brave.
