It’s time to go home <br />I’m sick and alone <br />I’m out on the street <br />no shoes on my feet <br /> <br />I’ve been here a long time <br />drinking this cheap wine <br />and now while I’m dying <br />still no one hears me crying <br /> <br />But once I was like you <br />I had a dream too <br />I saw myself blessed with love and wealth <br />but somehow I got lost <br />and I got double crossed <br />by a world that’s cold <br />in a story that’s old <br /> <br />But that’s not an excuse <br />no that’s just the reason <br />so with this last sip of wine <br />I’ll fade with the season<br /><br />Steven Sabathie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-s-time-to-go-home/
