You Who Flew Away

You Who Flew Away

When I die

(and I will die)

I'll wish that you were there

That you were strong enough to stay.

There will always be traces of you in my heart

They can never fade away

(They were born in there to stay.)

Unlike you

Who flew away

(But it's all right

We all decay

in heart and body anyway.)

But if I were here today

I'd ask for you to stay.

Stay.

Nowhere is home.

Nowhere is home.

You let me call my space with you home. Why would you if you knew I couldn't stay? You should've cut me off at the knees. Would've been cruel, but at least it would be honest. It would've prepared me.

Instead you let me sink so deep into your arms. The one place where I felt safe, where I felt unbreakable.

And then you broke me.

Now nothing is safe, and nowhere is home.
