The Prodigal 'Son"

The cool and soothing air
swept my face as a sweet welcome
for the prodigal 'son'

How is it then
that i felt
it was me they left behind
with the excruciating pain
of the overwhelming comfort?

Perhaps it was not sinful enough
to make it a prodigy
It was rather insanity
that would bring me back to this city
that would make me suffer
the overwhelming comfort
this time with dignity

coming back to this town is like
surrendering to all the failures
that i could not admit
