Played me like a violin,
Until I bled your favorite song.
Played me til I was numb.
No feelings left undone.
Everything seemed at bliss.
But it seems our love was broken.
No body to call my own.
No home to lay my head in.
You've found better,
She's more than I could ever fathom.
I'll never be like them.
I'll never ge to lay beside your head again,
And hear your soft voice.
I won't get to hold your hand,
And tell everyone you're the one.
Though those are the only things,
I'd be missing.
Nothing with substance like trust.
Faith and permission.
Thank God,
They don't outweigh the good.
The good,
Where I am happy.
Where I am smiling for no one,
But myself.
Where I can say I did it on my own.
I held up myself,
And let the light shine through.
I'll love the new person I'm becoming,
Because of you.
Because you left.
Because of the pain you caused me.
That changed my very being.
Yet I'm here.
Standing tall,
Still aware of my guard.
I gained some pride.
Some confidence and stride.
Something I never had with you.
But now I'm all I got.
Home is where my heart resides.
I no longer need your doubt.
Home is where my hallowed chambers,
Hold a holed,
Less than whole,
Heart.
Home is where I am.
Where light resides.
In the deepest darkest corner of my chambers.
You taught me light shines brighter,
In the darkest hearts.
And it did.
I found home.
Home is where my light doesn't dim.
Home is where a dark heart binds with light.
Pure light.
Home is light inside of me.
Home is where my heart beats.
And I am the only one,
With the way into my home.
My heart beats the only combination,
That would unlock the door.
Home is inside of me.
Not inside of anyone.
