Hometown Feelings

Drove through the town I grew up in

For the first time in ages

Looking for differences

Searching for changes

My childhood home burnt down

My best friends is gone too

How would you react

If there was no evidence of you

Another friends house is gone

This is feeling displacing

Like an organized effort

To remove or erase me

Dig up my dogs bones

to prove i exist

I've been here before

but its time i revist

Tangibility

Weight of existence

Liability

If this isn't reality what is this

Left behind

Rotting through

Turn to dust

Time consumes
