This Place

I had to leave my home behind, I was running from an abusive relationship and he kept the house. I miss that house and the land every day. I just wrote this from the heart.

Maybe they won't see me

  A ghost running up the path

Looking for something I want back

It's so cold now here

  I remember when we lit the fire

Your heart was warmer then

It's so empty now

 So why do I keep running back?

Be strong, let go, move on

So you found another place

But all I want is to sit here awhile

On the bed with the sunset

  at the window

                        listening to the wind and the trees

If I could switch my heart off

Like a light

How easy it would be to forget

        this place

This gave me a sense of time that I have lived through and kind of still I am there too, I liked your writing very much, it felt personal. And it can give different readers different things depending on what they have lived through or felt.

I try to look strong and full of confidence but those that know me better know that its just a false picture to protect me.

I can tell you this one has been written with great care and true feelings... I'm sorry for the things you have been going through... This one really hit me hard, you really gave feelings to it... It has a nice flow, simple yet very specific... How terrible it is when the one we loved dearly suddenly changes and becomes abusive, we have to go away from the one we once held so tightly.... I can feel your pain and sadness of missing your home, the place you loved.... Very well done... If you need anyone to talk to just leave a mail to me, I would be very happy to help you anyway I can...
