Homecoming

...And you thought that all

that's left with me is an open wound

throbbing and bleeding endlessly,

would grow worse even with a slight move

ripping my body, tearing my heart and soul.

Yet, I am here...

Surprising you with my mischievous smile

Staring intently at your eyes

Reading your thoughts

Unraveling your dreams

Trying to hold that terrified gaze

You know the suffering I went through

That pain you left in my front door

To go creeping into my room

crawling up to my bed, into my sheets

It has been triumphant in conquering me.

That sweet pain slowly piercing my heart

Swallowing it monstrously, leaving me numb

That sweet pain biting unto my mind

Leaving traces of its teeth

and crushing those sweet memories of mine.

That sweet pain pouring gloom unto my soul

Taking away every breath of hope and light

I know you're shocked to see me here

Assuming that I would never survive

You are right my Darling...

I was weak when you left me

Hiding behind the shadows

Struggling with the daylight

Foolishly wishing that time would stop.

But you're wrong Baby...

Something failed in all your plans.

I got up to nurse those ugly marks

Till they become tiny scars...
