Nihilist

Many believe

That their home is a place

Where they feel safest

A retreat that allows us to be ourselves

While we form a connection

To the structures that hold our hearts

With the memories that we craft within it

Lying as the foundation of our time

We spent together

The walls bleed with every nail

Holding up a memory of you

Or to rest a mirror

To show my tears

The ceiling watches in pity

The chandeliers without a sparkle

And the floors

Carry a reflection

Of what I fear

As I attempt to bury myself below them

It is to cower from the world

After what I have found it to be

Without you

I find it so interesting

How home is so comforting

When the carpets are stained

in crimson

and the windows are shut

to hide the darkness

For my home is not within this structure

But within the stars

My heart doesn't rest within the walls

But with yours

And wherever you are

I will follow you

Because you

are where I feel safest

You are my home.
