I'll say it simply
Strong, and without fear
You have no place in my heart
You are not welcome here

It started with a visit
You made yourself at home
The fun was never ending
Your price was never known

I begged you to stay longer
The fun had just begun
You said, "On one condition,"
"Let me rearrange some.
"These pictures just to start,"
My memories from my heart
"And these books will have to go"
with every truth I've ever known

The walls were all knocked down
To create an echo sound
My center piece was replaced
With water in an empty vase

"There," you smiled with delight
"Now this room feels just right."
There was nothing left, I could see
You didn't leave, even one bit of me

Again I'll say it
Strong, and without fear
You have no place in my heart
You are not welcome here
You know I hate feeling sorry for myself
nothing's worse than asking for a little help
You asked me, "What can I do for you?"
I said, I would let you know as soon as I knew

All I want is a place where I belong
Filled with friendly faces, that know when something's wrong
Where I have not a thing to prove
Where there can be a me, and you

Please don't rush me when I move slow
I’ll be ready just the same, when its time to go
you asked me, "What can I do for you?"
I said, I would let you know as soon as I knew

I need you to keep the beat to my heart
I need you to leave off where i start
Show me patience when I am confused
You know I would do the same for you

Please stay with me
Hold me, closely
cause all i need is good company

All I want is a place where I belong
Filled with friendly faces, that know when something’s wrong
All I need is you to be with me
No one in the world makes me feel so free
I tend my garden with watchful eyes
Not left to luck, or the sands of time
I pace these rows, and purify
Because I know, what I sow, is mine

I tend to fear what I cannot see
I feel absurd, but they're real to me
One second thought can plant a seed
A scourge will sprout, and begin to feed

My eyes are dry, and my body aches
The Sun's too high to touch my face
Vision blurs where heat radiates
Blending lines, and distorting shape

My souls on fire, my broken heart aches
The Earth is offered, for Heaven's sake
With all I need to build or break
It's up to me to strive to create

Truth's sting can hurt, but it's not unkind
Because I know, what I grow, in time
Will inspire my heart with love sublime
To pluck from my field, and share what's mine

My souls on fire, my body aches
My eyes are dry, my open palm shakes
Because I know, all I sow
If it grows, when I go, I take

— The End —
