There once was a place

She called home -

With revered photographs,

Favoured snacks,

Overstuffed pillows and

A plethora of knick-knacks.

There once was a person

She called home -

With a strong chest,

Indulgent smile,

Fierce hugs and

A life made worthwhile.

There once was a reason

She left home -

With a heavy heart,

A alove marred with kill shots,

Mistaken confidence and

A mind full of tainted thoughts.

There once was a moment

She left home -

With sudden clarity,

Inevitable fates,

Foreseen future and

A past embracing soulmates.
