home

you held your home in your arms and looked at her with love in your eyes
you were my home, too
you were my hero
the arms i fell into when i didn't feel safe
the voice i called whenever i needed comfort

you were my home
and then you left
you're still here
but i can't reach you
can't grasp you

you were my home and i can't call you that anymore
i wonder if i ever felt like home to you
or if you just viewed me as an extension of yourself
i hold your love in me. i hold your adoration for me like a lifeline
but i feel so far away from you

you now hold home in your arms and a ring around your finger
you now view over me and hold me aside as you reach for someone who's barely been in your life
while you've held me for twenty-one years

you were my home, too.
