Home is where the heart is


It seems forever that I felt complete

Can't remember a time I hadn't to be strong

Today I desperately am in need

Of a place where I can be me and belong


I turn around ready to face everything and nothing less

Willing to fight whatever will be thrown into my path

As I do, I'm finding myself eye-to-eye with emptiness

Nothing and no one to help me relieve my wrath


Home is where the heart is – that's the old sayin'

Torn between light and dark I left my only hope

Outwardly appearing cold as ice, on the inside filled with pain

My whole life a series of disappointment, I learnt to cope


His eyes haunting me even in my sleep

All I could feel for him for a long time was disgust

Remembering the promise he wasn't able to keep

I should have known better than to give him my trust


Forgiven but not forgotten – that's what keeps us alive

What happened still present although in the past

We had to learn to accept our nature to survive

The progress was painful, hopefully the outcome will last


One last day – they owed me to become

The girl who got her guy back on track

All that is left to say is: You're welcome

Then I fade into black


My journey has now come to an end

The news received, I fulfilled my quest

My broken spirit will be able to mend

Finally I can close my eyes and rest

I am home
