Homeless

For your health says the mother
At the last all is not lost
Tiresome now, faithless companion
Should I not hold this tall tale
Lost adrift in a great city
Once again in sunken beds
Confused, in truth, as I am ever
Heavy thoughts to heavy heads
I once heard, home is where the heart is
I’m homeless, therefore I am heartless
Bathed in thick unholy banter
Fraudulent, try as I might
Convictions found, lost on the counter
Toss in the gutter, night after night
Mischief maker, sound deduction
As you dispatch each state of bliss
Don’t mind recalling Sunday best mornings
When life was there we lived in it
I once heard, home is where the heart is
I’m homeless, therefore I am heartless
