The Truth

It slipped from your grasp, as it never knew mine
The truth fell away, landing somewhere, quite unknown
We are both at a loss, now, but in different ways
You cannot reach out to me, from the distant place
That you dwell
You fear to come back to me, and yet-
You hate to be where you are...
And I...I cannot help you
For this choice you must make, on your own
You've lived you life always like a vagabond
You have never truly known a home...
And that is what I offer you
A home, a heart, a soul
But, to have those things, you must
Swallow your fear, summon your courage
And find the truth, once more...
