Thanksgiving
We have spent every Thanksgiving
United the past 5 years
Don't know what your plans are today
I know you're not spending it here
Looking backwards twelve months ago
The place I've come to despise
Compared to now is not all that much worse
Both are still getting high
Though at the time seemed like life
Was not anything more than broken
Feel like a fool for not appreciating
Sweet words no longer spoken
Strangely discover myself wondering
If I stayed would we be at peace?
Miss your presence more than you know
Without my heart is missing a piece
I have holes inside my heart
Kind that can't be filled with food
Mistakes
Regrets
And shame instead
Of turkey being chewed
Written last year on Thanksgiving
