Someone like Home

A lost dream

split at the seams

reminds her of things that could have been

If only 

she had been a little more

Clever

Perhaps they could have survived the stormy weather

If only

she had a little more

heart

maybe then they wouldn't have grown apart

If only

She had been a little more

brave

maybe then it could have been saved

 

But she hadn't been

and he gone

and everything was going wrong

Don't worry little girl

there are other boys in the world

Some pretty red pumps

and cute new clothes

and you will find

someone like home

Author's Note

Does the first stanza work with the rest of this? Also is the Wizard of Oz reference too subtle?

We all want to find that someone like home to us, don't we? Cute, heart-wrenching poem.
