Vacant Home

This home has never felt so unfamiliar Now that you've gone away These ghost's echo in the empty space All alone what was once a greater picture Is now a vacant frame Just left to wither and wane Feeling strained crawling on my knees against This endless grain and dragging feet at the expense Of progress in any way And it's funny how the tables have turned And the advice that you gave me is now mine to give to you A mother's love in four simple words Forever keeping me can now keep you too And even after your departure I swear I can hear you say "Be good be safe" This vulnerability has left me struggling Constantly moving at a pace I can't keep This house is not a home an emptiness I can't ignore This house is not a home I don't belong here anymore This house is not a home an emptiness I can't ignore This house is not a home I don't belong here anymore Well maybe they call it starting a new chapter But I can never seem to finish the last one in time Now the book keeps moving forward and I am always stuck one page behind But these words that you always told me still resonate inside this space I'm trying to be good I'm trying to be safe This vulnerability has left me struggling Constantly moving at a pace I can't keep This house is not a home an emptiness I can't ignore This house is not a home I don't belong here anymore This house is not a home an emptiness I can't ignore This house is not a home I don't belong here anymore This vulnerability has left me struggling This vulnerability has left me struggling Vulnerability Vulnerability Vulnerability
