A Home Lost

Naked newborn

Crying in pain

Nothing's the same

I don't know where I am

All I know is the sting

The sting of air

Of the doctors white glove

Umbilical cord cut

The connection is gone

My connection to love

Connection to a home

My old life's gone

Just gone

It's time to fly

But I can't even walk

I can't even crawl

I can't even talk

I feel so weak

How will I survive?

I'm scared, alone

No connection to home

I cry and cry

Knowing I'll die

Cause I don't know how

How to survive

I'm a newborn

I'm a flightless bird

I cry so much

My vision's a blur

But no one sees

These waves of pain

Swelling inside me

Because I've lost my love

I've lost my home

Out of the womb

Now an open wound

Old life dead

New one begun

But it burns my heart, like snow

In the morning sun

I'm alone

Lost

And scared

The person I called home

Is no longer there

I yell and cry

And sob and scream

Begging

For that sense of security

For that loving touch

For the familiarity

Of a home

A home lost
