First was red and green That ended up being left As a torn flea ridden mess Second was a big white square house filled with passing guests, paying for a nights rest Third was a halfway house somewhere i can't name Ask three times in the window of vain Four is where my mind still wanders A home, a livelihood, my food, my roof A square, a dog, sadness and laughter Heartbreak and tears, a green car disappearing behind mountains of heat Five was next to four More like to the left up five It was of dreams, it was of magazines Caved away at the seams It was the place the regretful abandonment returned And a loved pet was dropped two floors Six didn't last long It was ugly and torn In a place most go to mourn Only light was a green house maybe one tomato bloomed Seven was darkness more of a kitchen mess A walk in a field, a promise to never eat of that kind again A slit of the wrist and a drop of the blade A slither of blood beneath an empty bridge Snow and cold, stuffed foxes and prides Eight, a home, a shop, an illegal fortress A makeshift kitchen and a half a mile walk shower The awakening of self awareness, of life, The bonding of friendships, the discovery of evil The turnover of property never belonging but always loved Nine was a long awaited rest But still a sofa was her nest One walk to pay for the habits i posses A few years of empty friendships i'm yet to see Ten final independence, freedom and loneliness Ten a rounded number im yet to break
