Home

Behind my closed eyes,
I travel worlds away,
Deep in the dark caves,
Of my own clouded mind.

The world I seek in my mind,
The world that I made home,
Shows me a world so different,
To the world I walk with you.

As my mind drifts away,
I feel the sorrows lighten,
I feel the wounds recover,
I feel the heart renewed.

As my mind takes me away,
To the world I call my home,
Only to see you waiting for me,
Bearing a beautiful smile for me.

It truly is lovely seeing you here,
Where our reality has no standing,
Seeing you smile so sweetly for me,
Home is only where I see that sight.

Even though I always remember,
In the world I freely leave behind,
That sight falls upon another's eyes,
But it matters not to me anymore.

This place is my home,
Reality has no say here,
The pain and sorrows,
Are far from my home.

I am here with you and I feel bliss,
Happiness that exists in fairy tales,
I found between your palm and mine,
As I gripped it the way I wish I could.

None of this is real,
My eyes shall open,
And home will vanish,
And bliss will vanish.

I never wish to leave here,
Home has everything I need,
I can see it in your bright eyes,
Love I so wish you had for me.

It exists here! At home!
The world I built myself,
Worlds away from reality,
Which always burned me.

But the world will vanish,
Into the clouds from which,
I had created it so carefully,
I created it with my heart.

As I awake in the world,
Where reality clutches me,
The wounds bleed afresh,
The sorrows weigh as heavy.

As I breathe in the real world,
I feel the bliss long evaporated,
And replaced with a memory,
Which I forgot while at home.

I will never be fortunate to see,
The smile you had worn at home,
As reality bears down on my back,
I know you won't see me as I see you.
