Never Go Back Home Poem by Dashaun Rashod Snipes Mister

Never go back home,
the voices whisper in my ear
haunting me, calling me
to a world once known, now unclear.
The darkness surrounds me
as I walk through the night
emotions swirling, overwhelming
as I fight the urge to take flight.
I know something is wrong
but I struggle to see
the light that once guided me
now seems to have abandoned me.
In that moment of change,
when I couldn't hold on
I realized I lived to love you
but now, that love is gone.
Save yourself, they say
don't look back, don't turn around
but I can't help but wonder
what could have been if we never drowned.
Tears fall like rain
washing away what once was
our love, a memory
fading away in the ocean's buzz.
This was the only world I knew
with you by my side
but now it sleeps beneath the waves
and I am left with nothing to confide.
But I remember your touch
your voice, your smile
and I won't give up on you
even if it takes me a thousand miles.
I can still feel you in my heart
beating with every breath I take
just show me the way
and I'll follow, no mistakes.
I don't belong here, alone
without your love, I am lost
a puzzle with missing pieces
and I can't bear the cost.
Your face remains in my mind
like a picture burned in my soul
and every time I close my eyes
I feel like I'm losing control.
But I'll save myself
I won't look back
for it only tears us apart
leaving behind a broken track.
The only world I've ever known
now lies beneath the sea
but I am the one who's drowning
without your love, I'll never be free.
Across the ocean, I call your name
hoping to hear your voice
a ray of hope, a glimmer of light
in this world, devoid of choice.
Are you there, my love
can you hear me crying out
lost in this vast sea of doubt
I am searching, without a doubt.
There's nothing left for me
until I find my way back home
for in your arms, that's where I belong
never again meant to roam.
But it's all gone,
the life we built together
a distant memory, a faded dream
now just a painful endeavor.
The only world I've ever known
now sleeps beneath the waves
and I am the one who's drowning
without your love, my heart craves.
I am lost, adrift at sea
with no compass, no guiding light
for without you, I'll never find my way
back to the place that felt so right.
So I'll never go back home
for it no longer exists
a mere illusion of what could have been
now just a bittersweet reminiscence.
But I'll keep searching,
across this vast ocean's span
for in my heart, I know
that one day, I'll find my way back to you, my man.
