I was a block away from our place
Well, the place that used to be ours
I was being pulled in that direction
But I was afraid you’d be home
I’d imagined myself driving by
And I’d see the front porch light on
The picture windows would show it all –
You, your wife and the kids wearing smiles
I always thought there would be a time
When our paths would unexpectedly cross
I’d be wearing a huge engagement ring
You’d be looking plump and miserably unhappy
So I pulled up to the light and my blinker was on
But that same pull swept up again
And I put it in reverse and moved to the other lane
Guess I just wasn’t ready to see the truth
I might be living in this city again
The only place I’ve considered home
But to be honest, it wasn’t home because of us
It’s home because of me – I’m glad I kept driving.

I’m trying to do more writing without a focus on separating my poetry from writing. I find when I break the story into sections similar to poetry, it’s easier to follow but less pressure to rhyme! Just trying a new perspective. š I really enjoy reading your work. I was browsing earlier. I appreciate the follow and likes!

Every day we wake up we are newer versions of ourselves. Some of my writing is old as well. One of the poems is from when I was 14. Now I have a place to share it all so I’m taking full advantage! Even though we change and progress each day, I find it entirely beautiful how some hearts still love the same – even after they’ve been broken. Cheers! š
