Five Miles From Home.
 
Time and time again we find ourselves.
So far from home.
So much time wasted on you.
It's time to let it go.
 
Five miles from home and there's nothing left to say.
Things will never be the same.
(We ignored the warning signs
Now we're paying the price.
 
I'd rather we just left this behind.
We ignored the warning signs
Now we're paying the price.)
It's better than faking.
Better than changing.
I never wanted you to change.
 
Now when I look into your eyes.
There's a fire dying somewhere inside.
You'll never know what this meant to me.
 
Somewhere along the lines.
You left yourself behind.
 
Five miles from home and I'm not coming back.
 
just a torn picture in a broken frame.
Things will never be the same.
 
I can't pretend anymore.

I imagine this(if this is a poem that goes with music) in a nice minor key on the piano, and perhaps a hint of a guitar on a low A and some smokey, alternative voice like Elliott Smith singing along. Now I wish I could hear your version of it put to music to add to this great poem...

Wow breathtaking and I must agree with Sakuya. You are one of the best song writers and poetry writers I have met in a long time. It is always an honor to see and read the new stuff you put on here.
