Back to Where My Heart Still Lives

 "Back to Where My Heart Still Lives"

I walked away, too blind to see,

The gold I held was loving me.

Now silence sleeps where laughter stayed,

And warmth is what I’ve long betrayed.

I chased the world, but lost the race,

No hand compares, no voice, no face.

The echo of your name remains,

A sweet old song in bitter rains.

I thought I’d find myself alone—

Instead, I found a colder home.

Your absence grew like climbing vines,

Wrapped round my soul in tight confines.

They say men break, then they regret,

Well, here I am, not done just yet.

No pride to block this humbled cry,

No fear to face a last goodbye.

If healing waits behind your door,

And love still breathes beneath the floor,

Then take me not as who I was,

But who I am—because of loss.

I do not beg for perfect peace,

Just one more chance, a small release.

To fix the cracks, to mend the past,

To make a love that truly lasts.

If fate allows, if hearts forgive,

Let me return—let me relive.

Not just a man who made you ache,

But one who learns, for heaven’s sake.
