You once left everything
To start over somewhere new
It’s time to go home now
But where is home?
Everything’s changed
Without you being there
“I’m not selfish but how could it be”
You tell yourself
When you walk through this little street
Sun is shining on your cheek
You’ve been away so long
That now coming back
It breaks your heart
The life never stopped when you left
It continued its destined path
You want to go back to a place
That no longer exists
Only your mind is where it resides
You want to return
But not here, not this new road
The building you’ve never seen
“Take me home, to the place I once knew”
You want to scream, but can’t
Because it’s all gone
Is home a place or only a memory now?

A poem of wanting to return to a home in the past. Nicely written and somewhat sad in that one can not go back only forward. Well done
I used to think home was a place, now I see it as more of a feeling than anything else. The place I used to call home is someone else’s home now. Very well done.
