Funny almostHow you came alongJust to make me a hostWelcoming you with open arms My kindness was too kind You always found me doing the most Because I was so protective of your feelings Always giving you a space to let looseTo scream, to vent, to grieve  I should’ve realized that this was all a ruseNothing between us was moving You…

Iâve foundthat these walls donât quite compareto what Iâve built within you.I yearn for something steady.A constant rhythmic tune.All Iâve ever wanted was to evolveand grow in spaces Iâve never been,but every step I takereminds me of whatâs still missing.What does it mean to have everything,when it all has no deeper meaning.What makes a home,if…
