This House is Not a Home



This House Is Not a Home

To many battles, not enough love
No more kisses or tuck-in’s at night
Living room is looking like a war zone
This house is not a home.
                                              
No breakfast smells to wake to in the morning
Just busted bottle glasses being broken
Angry words being shouted as dishes hit the floor
All you want to do is hit the door.
This house is not a home.

Remember those days back in the day
You had game nights. Those days we would
Laugh and play fight
Where a kid could be a kid and everything seemed
To be alright? But now…
This house is not a home

All that emotion that once dwells now comes from
Empty eyes where love once lied.
An empty shell of a heart where love use to beat unconditionally
A soul that once to soar, is now dragged beneath the feet and stepped
On continuously causing so much animosity.
This house is not a home. 

You close your eyes and reminisce about the days
You use to share. The warmth of the heart that
Use to be there. The numerous times you to say
You cared.
The happy times
The smiles
The hugs…
The empty fridge
The long nights out
The pushes away when you tried to hug you goodnight
This house is not a home.

The beatings followed by the “I love yous”
The cheating because “SHE/HE” let you
The trying to get out but he/she won’t let you
And you keep coming back…
To make a house a home…
