| DON'T ABANDON YOUR PARENTS WHEN OLD! |
It just
doesn’t feel like,
The place I grew,
Where are
those friends?
I wish I knew,
The walls
are no longer green,
And the heavens
refuse to rain with me.
I look at
the sky,
It’s naked
and blue,
It burns in
shame,
I take my
cue,
I can feel
the water leaving me,
But the heavens
refuse to rain with me.
It is not
what I had in dreams,
Not the
place where I lived free,
I must have
lost my way to home,
Where I left
the child, I used to be.
The faces
look so unfamiliar,
Their eyes
wondering why I am here,
And stranger
is the word I can hear,
This place I
can no longer bear.
I know I took
the right road,
This road I can
remember well,
But where is
the tree house I built?
Where is
that tree, will someone tell?
Blinded by
the city lights,
I left
myself behind,
And look
around all that I may,
Even memories
I cannot find,
I came crawling
to the shade I wanted to feel,
But the heavens
refuse to rain with me.
