My House is Not a Home
My home is now a lonely place filled with pain
A grieving soul lives here with nothing to gain
He’s surrounded by darkness overwhelmed
with shame
He is living a solitary life with no one to blame
Here is a place I have been living after my loss
It is a place that holds only shattered dreams
It’s a place filled with sorrow with no end in
sight
I live here each day and try to sleep every
night
This is a place so cold and lonely
This is a place I now store my wishes sadly
This is a place without much hope now
It is a place where my soul lives alone now
This is a life that should never have been
This is a place where it should not be seen
It is hard to bear one more such sad day
It’s hard to live with such heartache and
dismay
This is a person with so much pain inside
Feeling of loneliness and no one to be by his
side
When the tears stop then he can see clearly
His question now will be ‘Do people know me?’
This is a man who has lost his valued treasure
This is a person who is searching for his lost
pleasure
This is the lover who has lost his sweetest life
This is that husband who mourns for his wife.
His wife is gone forever and he laments daily
His pains and sorrows keep escalating daily
His lives in a house that is not home any more
The pretty lotus, his wife lives off the shore.
