i want to go home
there is a void in the street
it blocks my path with an image of familiar body
a head of honey brown curls
eyes sunny and bright
a smile that could grow flowers

i reached out to the void
it calls to me with promises whispered
"it's okay, we're okay. i love you."
an soft echo in my ears becomes a screech
the void watches me cry
the void won't leave
bright eyes watch over me

my hands shake as i reach out
i grasp onto the void
the image disappears, and i crumble
my home is gone but leaves the void
i long to feel what i will miss endlessly

the void moves close and swallows me whole
it's a feeling of comfort yet despair
i will always love you
i will always recognize you
but i cannot recognize myself
time to decorate my new home
