Ode to home.
Where the heart resides.
And comfort lies.
Memories build, and solitude fades.
Smells all so familiar
With sounds of ringing laughter.
Your happiness.
Your home.

forget the way she held this hand
just lay it back inside that memory
it changes with every touch
we can't even hold onto you
don't even want to
but the troubled feeling
is coiled within you
the memory it holds
could take away the burden of "I forgot to say"

you can't apologise to your own mistakes
an empty room
full of poisonous regrets
there is nothing here
just a mind
blind to the truth

the eyes of the admirer
seldom seem understanding of atrocities
selfish, absorbing
fascinated with self-interest
ignorant to empathy
a closed office
a man, a man
face to face
