What Home Looks Like

The smell of good food, and your laughter, 

Fresh flowers, wind chimes and music. 

Endless nights star gazing under a blanket 

Sharing stories, everything and nothing. 

The warm heater, pictures on the wall, 

Grocery list on the fridge. 

Fighting over the wet towels

Your hair in the sink.

Is this what home looks like?

Perhaps it does...

Every time I return to the cold apartment

And turn my keys, realising you left,

I miss belonging somewhere. 

Lost. Helpless. 

And once again, here I stand, 

Homeless.
