I found myself longing for a home I did not belong to
Homesick for a place I could never call mine
And it hurt to think about it
How do I feel safest in a heart you never let me into?
Your warm empty arms
That you've never held me in
Do you even remember my name?
Or am I just another face you passed by?
I thought you cared about me
I thought you promised to care for everyone
That looked for safety in you
So, why did you forget me?
You locked me out of your heart
You left me out here to die

A/N: While the poem talks about being abandoned by a person, I wrote this poem one night when I was thinking about a country, where I was born. I'm adopted and my adoption was international, so I don't know much about my birth country, Orphan refers to my feelings of my birth country. How I feel about where I was born, how I felt that I was just forgotten, but I still miss it, even though I don't remember anything from there
