Between all emotions
why is it hurt?
why is it regret?
why can't I be comfortable?
like earlier
finding a topic for this poem
was breathe taking
I made it seem as if I had no topic
because it frightened me to think of it
I already knew what it was
from the beginning their relationship no hope
but for some reason they decided to get married
only a few months after the wedding
the love and the vowels blew away
argument after argument
problem after problem
i sit and think to myself
that I could've stayed home
I traveled so so far
and all around this place with no comfort
I'm broken and wondering how could you marry such guy
she's stuck in misery
I see it in her eyes everyday
i could've just stayed home with the people I know
and love
with people who comforts me inside and out
She had a well paying job
a welcoming home
and she marries him
becomes stuck within the life of a military wife
I wish I was home
not to visit but to stay
I may seem ok
but never in my life was I ever this depressed
my heart aches everyday
even in mornings when I should feel the joy of a brand new day
her time has been wasted
so the solution to this situation is to stay home
she and I should've just stayed home
but I never really thought about myself
i thought about my heart
and realized that I should learn to make it my home
no more misery should come before me
Because i'm here
I'm home
and forever free
