some say just four walls and a roof
but so much more than that
a break
a comfort only found when there
a place where you don’t feel alone
i built a home for you
for me
not always a place
sometimes a person
yet sometimes it catches fire
crippling down with smoke and ashes
and in the rubbish left behind
i find
my regret
mistakes
and the fact it was my fault
not due to difficulty
but my inability to let go of past homes .
