Home Sweet Home
Floor covered in strawberry
Creme; tastes of Lysol and
Grass stains.
Walls of splattered berries-
Shift pink to wine to
Night blackened exhaustion.
Room calmed by soft
Swirls of nicotine puffs;
Clogging comfort.
Hidden lights chancing
Upon meaningless words and
Montonous hugs yet still
Unable to penetrate the obvious
Dishonesty.
Welcome to Home Sweet Home.
