"You Are Your Home"
-Erin Hansen


I can't wait to see your face again

But wait.

You're not here.

You're gone.

Just a glimpse in my memory.

You left me so soon.

Yet so late.

I need you here.

But I can't have you here.

You choose the wrong way.

And now you are just a ghost, living in the shadows

Yet so full of life

Pounding in my head

Reaching for me to join you.

Yet I can't.

You are up their 

I am down here.

I choose to stay.

Not leave.

Not just for you

But for them

Me, but also

you.

I live for you, even though you're gone.
