Home,
My home is in Madison in my big blue house,
In my bed full of stuffed animals and
Mommy and daddy in the other room not screaming at each other,
And my puppy on my bed cuddling me,
While I cried at night because I was scared of the monster under my bed,
And my play house kitchen,
Where I played grown up,
Where I thought I would always turn out okay,
And I danced smiling in my little dresses and bows in my hair,
As mommy would dress me in,
And sit on the couch with daddy while mommy dusted her shelves,
And play hide and seek with my dog because he knew how,
And get a kiss goodnight
And a kiss for every scrape and bruise on my body,
And run in the grass putting flowers in my hair,
In my big blue house in Madison,
And now MY big blue house in Madison has been painted yellow,
And strangers have taken over my room,
And have planted these awful red flowers in mommy's garden,
And daddy's office is now a garage,
And my puppy is dead,
And so is daddy,
And there's a new puppy who runs in the yard,
And mommy cries sometimes because her baby girl has grown up so fast,
And daddy isn't here to tell her she's beautiful,
And her puppy has turned to bone,
And little girl is all grown up,
And she doesn't know where her home is anymore,
Because home is no longer here.
