Analysis of A home now unlived



They lived in to nullify
They electrified love to acidify
With beauty, they came to disqualify
It's a home now unlived, check and verify

Those who lived here are gone,
My home is now outside the comfort zone.
In front of my wet eyes, my fate I must condone,
I no longer care to trust, the home should just let well alone.

I am heartrending with the heartache of ages,
I can't step a mile in these shoes for seconds
For I am weak with Achilles' heel all over me for weeks
My heart is blank, it's a home now unlived

I can be the chameleon
To change my skin, to change my hair, to change my altitude
But since I am not the right piece in the jigsaw
My house will never be a home to be lived
