Your house is supposed to be your safe place the place you can go to to get away from the outside world
You don't have to deal with any of the pain, murder, fighting, the pure hatred that is outside your walls
A house is more then brick and cement
It is a safe haven
But that's all changed now
Instead of feeling safe and secure in my own home I feel dirty. Watched
You took my haven
You took my place
That's not the only thing you took was it?
That's not the only thing you left striped and bare
You set a fire with liquor and a match
You burned my haven to the ground
Instead of a beautiful oasis, there is a barren waste land
You made sure there was nothing left
You say it was not your intention that you didn't meet to strip us both down
To leave us with nothing, but shame and regret
You may believe that
I'm sure you do
But you can not fool me
You can not pretend that you didn't burn everything intentionally
We both know you did
We both know you wanted everything to happen the way it did
You burned us both
You left us both a barren waste land with nothing beautiful about us
My haven
My home
My safe place
My oasis
It is gone
The place I could once call home
The place I could once smile and feel happy is gone
It was just a way for you to get what you wanted
A place for you to visit to slowly steal from it
To you it was brick walls and cement
To me
It was home
