Come Home Again

"Come home again,"
They've asked once more.
"We'll give you a life
That you'll adore."

"We'll fill it with treasures
And things that please the eye
Perhaps a beauty or two
Things you can't deny."

I wonder when
They'll see true
The person I am
My decisions review.

Wondering just where
I've failed them now
What decisions I've made
That furrow their brow.

When will they see
The man I've become?
When they've broken my spirit with......
"Come Home Again, Son."

"Come home." they plead
"Come home, once more.
We have a young lass
That we know you'll adore."

"She's perfect for you.
We've picked her ourself."
Should I be the dutiful son
They can display on the shelf?

So once more
It's interest I feign
They'll never believe I can't
"Come home again."
