Take Me Home
Reclaimed
There are lost, abandoned people, hiding themselves in hollow houses. A wandering existence marked with pain
Tangible in vision, to the eyes of those who browse, wounded hearts now lost, forgotten and replaced
Antique stores of sorts, haunted, forbidden libraries, displaying cache's filled with fragile memorabilia
Shelf after shelf exposing precious moments passed, deserted, left behind, and out of place
Picked through by the lovers looking for a deal on treasures, gathering up the unspent forfeited nostalgia
Bringing back to life the spirits captured deep within, reviving them with loves warmest embrace
Once ghostly apparitions, left to wander haunted forests, forever dwelling amongst the lonely charnel houses
Have found cause to live again, revived, shedding themselves of the pretend, healing, letting go of their disguises
