Never truly Homeless

Wandering these empty streets doesn't feel so lonely
because the pavement in bathed in starlight
and because these streets are littered with you

Because on nights like tonight no one is truly homeless

Because somewhere down these streets
is the park where we said goodbye
but so is the church where we said hello

Because my home hasn't been a place for years

Because home stopped being a place
when my parents stopped being together

Now home is starlight and my own rib cage
because home hasn't left my own rib cage
in at least 6 years

because home

hasn't left my own rib cage

in the last

6

years

Because home is where you feel safe
where nothing can hurt you

Because the monsters under my bed
are now demons
and they tend to rest in my head

but maybe that's a lie
because i think there was a time
when home made it into my finger tips

Because i wanted to share home with you
like you shared home with me

and you hands in mine started to feel
like home
