far away from home.

every screaming siren i
think of you.
the pictures are
turning rusty at the edges,
but they make your face
appear softer,
they make your eyes
glassy
with understanding.
you only have
one heart but it's times
like these
that i am afraid all it is
filled with is
cigarette smoke and
hatred
towards his eyes.
but you have found the
love within your
children.
and the one thing that is
keeping you
chained down to the
center of the
earth is not your sanity;
only the hope
in which you carry
within your fist.
the tension within your
walking feet,
that someday they
will return
all that has been taken
away from you;
all that has left you
heavy
and weighted with the
sighing of
waking up to another
empty day.
priceless and smudged at
the corners,
who knew you couldn’t
hold the
capacity to love
anyone like
they
wanted you to.
