Just Like Home

by deadnalone   Feb 3, 2005


I wrote this a little while ago, haven't been able to put it on. Hope you like it.

Tears stain my cheeks,
Knowing you no longer love me,
Maybe you never did,
Maybe you never cared, maybe,

You left me all alone,
On the side of this dusty track,
I can see no place forward,
And I can’t stop looking back,

Spaces between my fingers,
Gaps inside my heart,
Places where my soul drips out,
And my life seems to fall apart,

I’m trying to be strong,
And put on a happy face,
I’m not going to be the girl, whose heart,
Was torn, so delicate, like lace,

Everywhere I look,
Couples look in love,
Valentines cards and candy,
Adorned with hearts and doves,

They all just remind me,
Of all the things I've lost,
Remind me of my first kiss,
And my heart, turned to frost,

Cold now and blackened,
But once beating and all aglow,
I remember times spent with you,
When I never wanted you to go,

Times when I was happy,
And there was light at the end,
Of this long and winding tunnel,
But you’re still here, still my friend,

I know people will say to me,
That it was about time,
I know people will tell me,
That you were always mine,

I know deep in my heart,
That true love will be held,
Even though it will take time,
This hurt will be dispelled,

This long and winding road,
This dirty, dusty track,
No place here in front of me,
Want to, but can’t go back,

Life is full of problems,
Fourteen cuts I've made,
Suffered from depression,
At this ripe, young age,

I've had my baby,
Now I've lost him too,
But I’m not going to cut,
I’m going to make it through,

I'm going to stop crying,
I've got people to dry my tears,
And I’ll still have the memories,
But I’ll also have my fears,

Long, dark and winding,
Dusty, dirty road,
Please don’t leave me behind,
I know I’m a heavy load,

But just cause you don't love me,
Doesn't mean you can't still care
Even if you never again love me,
I will still always be there,

Thoughts in the back of the mind,
Memories that you don’t replay,
You probably don’t want to remember,
Just like you didn't want to stay,

This road is hard to conquer,
When you seem to be alone,
But when you have angels with you,
This road is just like home.
