come back home

INSPIRED BY :
where's my love by SYML

have you ran away? i have ran away, but can't let go. do you know the way? d'you know the lane? i don't really know... can we be the same, as we used to be, like old days.

baby, show the way that i used to hold tightly onto. even through the jungles, the storms and the nightmares of thorns. the vines are green but poisoned, breaking through my skin as i run back home.

do you feel the same? can you feel my pain? please, come back home.

i need you in my arms, let me feel what i need to feel. i need you in my heart, back in my mind like you used to do. i need you by my side to ignite the flame that used to burn anew.

it's cold without you here, so let me back into your world of warmth. be my source of light, i can't find my life without you existing here. you're the one that makes everything feel alive, so come back home.

you're the flame to my candle, scented with vanilla and coffee, blending our tastes so perfectly. we were beautiful together, like autumn falls— gentle and golden but now i'm on the floor.

i'm crawling with my hands in the dark, reaching for your spark while screaming in the silence that counters my pleas for yours to touch. it never answers and leaves me feeling rejected, i need your presence so just come back home.

i'm burning without you, but in pain and desperation— smoke and ash in the shape of what we used to be.

don't let this be the end, don't let this be the way we break apart.

i'll wait in the wreckage, i'll wait in the sea of darkness, i'm willing to do anything if you'd come back home.

i'll stay here for as long as i need to, for as long until you arrive and take me back. i need you in my life, you are the reason why i'm alive.

i'll scrape my knees climbing the mountains to reach you. i'll burn my hands on the surfaces of an erupting volcano just to see you. i'll keep silent just to hear the echo of your breath in the silence— even if it's just a ghost, i'd hold onto it extremely close.

i'd drink the sky dry is it meant i could taste the words you never got to say. i'd bleed through the stars, carve your name into the moon just to make sure the heavens could remember you. i will never forget the way you smile and how your eyes shine so bright, the way you rise into the clouds high above in the name of love.

my ribs are a cage of aching winds, encasing a heart of hope and longing; the need to keep you in my embrace and the desire to have you back in this sombre place. my veins they carry blood that cries out to you, my lungs they inhale a memory and exhales your name.

i'm unraveling, my soul a cocoon of silk, precious and fragile as the final thread of dawn before the night breaks in. every whisper of the wind threatens to tear me open, but i stay tightly compacted together, because somewhere in the process of unraveling— i still believe that you'd come back home.

i'm stitched together by promises we never made : we'll never forget each other, we'd always stay together, forever we will be closely connected. it's held in place by the solemn echo of your voice, which still rings in our empty living room.

my hands tremble, they're afraid you'll escape and never leave a trace, they're afraid that you'll never be found and i'd be left here in this wretched place. they reach through the shadows, blind and unprepared of what will appear, only in hopes of reaching your soul.

the door is still open and unlocked for you to walk in, for you to come back into the place we used to own. there's a light through the window, a gap that reveals a warm welcome, and a candle that burns the scent of vanilla and coffee, just in case.

just in case you forget the way back home, just in case your heart suddenly remembers how we felt like home.

author's feedback
> i love how this evolves from the emotions of worry and uncertainty to the final emotion of a quiet hope. i really like this, even though it's not really related to minsung (but also can be, in a way).

i want to hear your thoughts and emotions when reading this so please leave a few comments!

emotional structure : worry → longing → desperation → spiritual surrender → quiet hope
