Come Home Poem by Alexander Downie

'Come home' something I want with all my heavy heart,
to live a happy life with real friends, make a scar free start.
Though this not a thing at the monument I can lightly do,
a thousand heavy anchors drag me down and my vision skew.

I cannot allow another man in my bed, to violate my wife in my own home,
better I be dead so I must find strength to face cruelty and injustice alone!
I cannot lightly desert my morals and all the things I once and still love,
while wicked wolves gather in corners and vicious vultures circle above.
