Home Within My Heart

Standing here, feeling lost,

Heart heavy, paying cost.

Found my home within my own,

Now I'm alone, standing on my own.

Memories echo in my mind,

Trust broken, hard to find.

Didn’t cheat, just talked a bit,

Now she says I should quit.

She says I disrespect the space,

That my past leaves a trace.

But I stayed true, stayed away,

Want to make it through this day.

Oh, it hurts, it cuts so deep,

Like I’m a dog tied on a lease.

Told to leave, my heart breaks in two,

But I’ve got kids, I gotta be strong for you.

Feels like abandonment’s cold grip,

Sneaking into my lonely trip.

Confused and lost, I try to cope,

Fighting for my hopes, holding on to hope.

Standing here with tears in my eyes,

Holding onto love, despite the lies.

My home’s within, I’ll find my way,

For my kids, I’ll face each day.
