My body is a vacant space.
I am the sole care taker
But I am an unwelcome visitor.
It seems like visitors
Are the only thing this body can house
No one ever stays long enough
To make it a home

There was a time where this body
Was a home, my home
But since then
Insecurities have kicked me out
Changed all the locks
And left me for dead

I wake up every morning
Next to this body
Desperate to find a way back inside
I fear I will one day
Whither away to nothing
And all that will be left behind
Is an abandoned shell

Where I once called home..
