HOMELESS

I think we all want a place to call home.
I think we all convince ourselves that home can be inside of another person. But you won’t always keep me warm.
I know this because
Just the other night you had your arm around me,
And I was still shivering.
You won’t always hold up.
Just the other night your mom called you a failure,
And I watched you crumble to the ground.
I think we all want a place to call home,
And I think there are holes
In the belief that
That home can be inside of someone else.

Very thought provoking... I guess it's a pretty amazing concept, we all think about that way, we all think that we have found a place called home in someone but in reality that home sometimes leaves us homeless... Superb work...
