The Web Poetry Corner - McKenna Byrne - You Can't Come Home Again

You Can't Come Home Again

by

McKenna Byrne

My oblivious heart can do without you now;
It's raison d'etre expired - the burial's done;
You did not tend its end; peculiar how
When things got heavy you were always gone
With more momentous things to dwell upon.
You always found it simpler to resign
Than struggle to resolve; I watched you run
Fast forward into some unknowing sideline -
Some other harmless heart to undermine -
And when that blew, you'd jettison the rubble,
Find refuge in that suffering heart of mine
And for a little while, stay out of trouble.
Now, should you resume that household any more,
You'll find a tombstone where there was a door.
