I stand here in a foreign place,
I know it very well as a space,
A space i once occupied daily,
Until it openly betrayed me,
Now I'm back as a visitor,
With you and as my caretaker,
Overwhelmed and a little confused,
Surrounded by memories of being abused,
Mentally and emotionally you left me scared,
This whole situation is completely bizarre,
My family is no more,
My mothers demise sealed that door,
Until i awoke with the sound of a familiar voice,
A ex mother-in-law who gave me a choice,
You can come back home and stay for awhile,
Before i could say no i heard the sound of a dial,
Followed by talk of a doggie with a flea...
