Welcome Home

Hello pain
Dear old friend
It’s been an eternity
But I knew you’d be back.
Things were going too well
I was cursed with happiness.
No longer is that the case
Regret made sure of it.
Foolish thoughts
Believing that I deserved more.
Choking on glee
The bitter taste of joy
Left in my mouth
I’ve learned my lesson now.
So welcome my friend
Why don’t you stay awhile?
I’ve kept a place just for you
Here in this hole inside of me.
