Coming Home

Coming Home

A Poem by Metaphantom
"

For the fallen, for the others on the other side...remember the love, remember that always.

"
Loneliness apart, just know I'm looking at the stars
If home is where the heart is,  then my home is where you are
Loneliness apart, just know I'm looking at the moon 
if home is where the heart is, then I'm coming to you soon 

All I have is these letters of endearment
I cherish them and hear you in spirit 
Whispering an innuendo in my ear
About how we met and old times near
The memory of new love, the reason I breathe now
Longing for a touch a hug, not a moment I'd leave out


Loneliness apart, just know I'm looking at the stars
If home is where the heart is,  then my home is where you are
Loneliness apart, just know I'm looking at the moon 
if home is where the heart is, then I'm coming to you soon

Laying in blankets between sheets we make it
Nothing of a lazy day exchanging things we taste it
Love, love, love, all brand new to us
How, why, when and what can I do to not blush
Now that we are apart and I want you here
My heart can't handle it dear I live in fear


Loneliness apart, just know I'm looking at the stars
If home is where the heart is,  then my home is yowhere you are
Loneliness apart, just know I'm looking at the moon 
if home is where the heart is, then I'm coming to you soon

I see pictures of a child I couldn't see the birth
I was in the field and lost a friend lord I need church
I need a break from my assignment I need my family
Got orders today I'm going home i have angels I plan to see


Loneliness apart, just know I'm looking at the stars
If home is where the heart is,  then my home is where you are
Loneliness apart, just know I'm looking at the moon
 if home is where the heart is, then I'm coming to you soon

They knocked on our door and gave you a box
My belongings and all the letters a flag and purple heart
A part of you denied it, and you fell to your knees
A soldier consoled you and said I wanted you to read
Take care of my baby take care of yourself for me
Fall in love again and make sure you believe


Loneliness apart, just know that I am in the stars
If home is where the heart is, then my home is where you are
Loneliness apart, just know I'm smiling at the moon 
if home is where the heart is, then we will see each other soon
