Out of Exile
Like a dream or a wish I have almost forgotten
I am back
Back in my house
Back from exile
It used to be a home
Now empty rooms with memories of you, her, him
All gone now
I miss her, but do I know her?
I won, but what exactly?
At what cost?
My life in boxes
A box of books
A birthday card full of lies
A guitar
A leather jacket
All kept so the ghosts can breathe
Where do I start from and what's the purpose of this new journey?
I am new, but older
I am tired, but stronger
I am alone, but not by myself
I ask no-one
And so it begins
