PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I haven't ever really found a place

that I call home

I never stick around quite long enough

to make it

I apologize that once again

I'm not in love

But it's not as if I mind that your heart

ain't exactly breaking



It's just a thought, only a thought



But if my life

is for rent

and I don't learn to buy,

Well I deserve nothing

more than I get,

Cos nothing I have

is truly mine



I've always thought that I would love

to live by the sea

To travel the world alone

and live more simply

I have no idea what's happened to that dream

As there's really nothing left here

to stop me



It's just a thought, only a thought



But if my life

is for rent

and I don't learn to buy,

Well I deserve nothing

more than I get,

Cos nothing I have

is truly mine



While my heart is a shield

and I won't let it down

While I am so afraid to fail so

I won't even try

Well how can I say I'm alive

If my life

is for rent…
