#myconceptofhome

I thought your side was home
I kept my hopes in a locket
Believing you’ll change
And we’ll hit our target
like in a shooting range
Yet I was rightfully wrong
I thought we’ll forever live well
After showing me a life similar to heaven and hell
Guess I lost the taste of home
And I’m all alone
Wondering if home was to glory or worry
I just don’t know
For love gets burnt
Smiles gets drown
Tears begin to rain
And an entire life gets ruined
erm, remind me again
What did your promises say?
Why is your side full of pain?
Is that what love is meant to be?
Or is it that mankind is born to suffer a curse?
Then with my hands in yours
Gently take me home
To a place of solace
For my joy to find its lace
To a place away from disgrace
For these smiles of pain to leave my face
Take me home.

Home they say is where the heart is
Can’t be called so if it’s the place that gives you heartaches.
You’ve left my body, spirit and soul in this plain
And have promised me eternity
with terms and conditions
knowing fully well I couldn’t restrain myself from eating just an apple
Enough of the trials and temptations
I plead with you
Just accept me with my luggage of flaws onboard your plane
and take me home
To somewhere in the beginning
As it was in the garden of Eden
That in your bossom I can forever remain
Away from this world of shame
Take me home
And call a ceasefire for the sufferings to cease
So I can forever rest in peace.
