Images of Home

I thought I left it all behind.
Trapped in thought and state of mind.
... But as I stand here all alone
... Plagued by images of home...
Looking back I stood my ground
Making promises lost but never found
... And as I call you to my side
To help me set aside my pride.
It isn't easy,
To ask you to free me,
It's hard to stay this strong.
It isn't easy,
Knowing you need me,
To stay where I don't belong.
Shattered glass now makes the frame.
It's not enough to hear you call my name.
To stay or remain?
It hurts just the same.
My heart is still my own.
A different world on either side:
To swallow love or swallow pride?
One heart in pain, the other in vain.
Where will I ever thrive?
It isn't easy,
To ask you to free me,
It's hard to stay this strong.
It isn't easy,
Knowing you need me,
To stay where I don't belong.
