What my mind calls home

Home is not the physical structure 

that I spend my soulless nights in, 

where tears are my sanctuary, 

where the salty water trickles down my face when I sleep 

like a lullaby that soothes and calms me to a mysterious new place 

I lay awake in bed 

all these sleepless nights, sending me to paranoia 

while "what ifs" do re-runs in my mind 

...we... 

were my home 

I found the courage to trust you, 

put faith in you, told you all my 

deepest inner demons' secrets 

I fell apart on you when I wasn't having a good day 

and I was happiest when I was home with you 

Just talking to you is not the same 

we used to talk about life, death, dreams 

and hopes, hopes for our future, but now we just fill up emptiness 

with meaningless words, when we get the chance, 

we used to communicate in silence, just making the slightest movement in our facial expression, 

...remember when we sat in beautiful, peaceful silence?...
