Far From Home

I walk this earth an alien
no place here for a castaway
surrounded all the time
still alone

My blood, it’s not like yours
it repels
it taints
it makes things you love disappear

My body, borrowed
prolonged
every day might not include a tomorrow

My heart, feels almost human
it beats
it longs
it loves
it breaks

My soul, I barely have left
for God?
for you?
for what?

Don’t wait for darkness
to show me the light
don’t dangle happiness so close to reach
don’t taunt my existence
for I might give it away to go back home
