Analysis of Home & homeless!
Emptiness leaks out of me
Onto the black slate
The one I've tried to paint over again and again
The colors never last
The words never stay
The cavity inside my hand shrinks more
Never to be held again
I bite my tongue a bit harder today
For the words that bleed out
Are never enough
Look across the dusk
Dark never stays
Sheer light blinding the dark
More than it ever could have been
I try to paint the slate again
Azure life stains the corners
But never fills the whole
cavity inside my hands disappear
I am no more a home
I am homeless!
