Childhood Home

The tears run down my cheeks

the pain of leaving this place I love

comes back so strong my chest hurts

Oh I loved that place more then I should

so safe and secure all around me, love

the typing keys are wet now ,not rain, tears

walking out the door for the last time killed me

what I wouldn't do to go back home at last

other memories flood in now, charging in

they are here all my houses, all my friends

killing me slowly and slowly again

home can kill with good memories and bad

missing it ,my last home, the one before that

I look around me I hate what I see

then I think that happened last time

sold the home ,left a now special place, why?

to come here and remember all the days gone by?

childhood home and the ones since then 

will be my memory friends

I can identify with this . . . if I had a choice, I would go back to my childhood home and burn it to the ground, as well as the town I grew up in . . . I have, literally, no good memories from that time. As far as I'm concerned, my past is dead--the only shame is I can't cremate it
