Home in Your Heart

by Twolz   Apr 5, 2018


You’re lost and alone
Let me help you get home
To the place you’d like to be
To the place where you’re free
I’ll help you find your heart
I’ll never tear your world apart
The past is such a painful pill to swallow
I realize it’s made you oh so hollow
If you let me in you’ll see
There’s no one more inclined to help you than me
I’ve been through the ringer myself
I know what it’s like to be like yourself
Fatigued by life’s awful hand it dealt
Pain and suffering is all you’ve felt
If you let me walk with you hand in hand
I’ll show you the way back to the heartland
A place that isn’t so gloomy and gray
A place instead where your cheek will feel the warmth of a Sun’s ray
The light inside you will glow once more
The wound on your heart will no longer be sore
People meet people in mysterious ways
Now that I’ve stumbled into your life I’ll be here for you always
As a friend or as a lover I’ll be your shield
A barrier that lets in the light and makes the dark yield

    Hey there and welcome. I have read a couple of your pieces recently and this is beautifully rhymed, sweet and relatable to many of us here, me included.
    1) In my opinion this screams of a friendship where a one sided love is involved but only because the side you're trying to make realise that you're not like others has been hurt in the past and no doubt been hurt badly therefore unable to believe the words you say or does believe them but is being cautious which makes me for the second time this am think of the saying: ‘once bitten, twice shy’ which from experience is extremely correct as once you've been hurt you cannot throw caution to the wind so freely again but you know this and understand it which is why I believe this line ‘There’s no one more inclined to help you than me’ to be true, unfortunately and yes, and I say this from experience, the past certainly is the painfullest pill to swallow but we have to swallow it in order to move on.
    2) This makes my heart soar because it shows you are a very caring person and want what's best for this person as they're special to you so you will do anything to help them even if it just means being a listening ear, a friend to this person and nothing else as long as you can be there for them and help them see how special they are, give them the helping hand they rightly deserve. Beautiful
    Take care

      Thank you for your kind words. This poem is actually about me guiding myself back to a happier place. It’s going to sound weird. It’s my soul speaking to my brain. It’s about me struggling with the fact that I hate who I am. My soul being my guiding light. As a lover or as a friend means whether I love myself which is ideal or if I just tolerate myself. I believe our souls and our consciousness are two separate things. Our conciousness is nothing but memories made in this life and our souls are eternal. In this poem my soul is telling myself that it’s been hurt to in the past many times maybe. Just like my consciousness has been hurt in this life. It’s telling me if I accept who I am and love myself every thing will be okay. The meaning of this poem is deeper than the words could ever possibly describe.
