This City Might Take You

Its just a parking

Lot but before the parking lot 

There was a house here.

Its the house 

You grew up in.

It had so much love and memories. 

That as you sit in the parking

Lot you can still 

Smell your mom cooking

Sunday dinner. 

You can hear your dad 

Call your name 

And as you fight 

Back the tears

You realize how lucky 

You are.

This city tried to take you by

Clouding the good memories. 

As you drive away , you roll down the 

Windows and let the warm breeze 

Float with you as 

You drive away.

This city might try to take you.

Lock you in. 

But as you think of all those

Beautiful memories in 

Your heart,

You smile and realize. 

This city cant take you,

Because you 

Already did.
