i love my house, but my home can love me

we picked my house, but my home picked me

my house has an address, my home has names

my house has a sturdy foundation, with walls that protect me, rooms that allow vulnerability

my home also fits these roles

my house has seen tears fall from my face, while my home wiped them

my house has doors that i’ve slammed out of anger, but my home opened t...

Comfort, safety, and love.

All bundled up in a box called "Home."

While memories are made in a home,

Stories are to be told in a house.

Living in a box isn't as dull and boring

As it may seem.

Energy is built in the home.

Life breathes through the house.

Love breathes through the home.

Joy, creation and safety all made possible

through my home.

Home is where the heart is.

Home isn't temporary.

...

What the difference between a house or a home?

A house you can live with others yet you’re forever alone,

A home is a place of love which honors your soul,

When a house breaks you down never to be whole,

Four walls and a ceiling built upon a hidden hole,

Where the landlord is a Devil always on patrol,

Breaking you mentally taking away your power of control,

Leaving you to live a life infected with...

A house so silent,

It seems empty.

But it remains haunted

By possibility.

The possibility

Of my father.

The potential

Of a fight

Or a hug.

Has he changed?

His expression say

He hasn't.

But there is a quiet tinge of pain

In my heart

Every time he's in the kitchen

And we ignore each other.

Like ghosts in our own, living house.

Living family.

But we pretend we don't exist anymore.

...

idk if this rlly relates to the prompt lol

happy family

what does that even mean

when everyone is so keen

to leave and argue and fight

in plain sight

and i can’t grasp

why they do this to us

to their children,

their babies

their everything

secrets unfolded

truth beholden

tears

drop

drop

drop

so i will

break

and

break

until i cannot no more

and i will slam t...

The difference between

A house and a home

A home can be as

Small as a mouse

As cozy as a fire burning high on Christmas morning

A home is yours

Yours to do with as you wish

Yours to have and sleep in

Yours to love and keep close

Your safe space no one can interrupt

Meanwhile a house can be as

Big as a mountain

As spacious as the sea

A house is anybodies

But you and me

A house is grand

Modern, a...

_(I am back from camping, it was quite fun! Hope you have a wonderful day!)_

A house is like a name. You didn’t choose it, you were given it at birth, and you can’t control it.

It is something you carry on your back.

A house is a place you are tied to. You can leave, but the house is still _yours_ or your family’s. You are stuck to it.

A house can be a burden or it can be something you smile f...

The key I’d received still fit the house

But it no longer felt like home

The joy was buried in the backyard

Alongside my dog

My hope fell from my body

Like the leaves during autumn

Away from the old tall oak tree

The tree was rooted outside the kitchen window

The window was foggy

Clouded by the resentment

I walked up the stairs wishing they led to the past

The past where we all got...

The place you grew up

The place you feel safe

The place you learned to walk

The place you felt the most safe

The place you went to sleep

The place you cuddle up in warmth

The house uou grew up in

Or the home you built for yourself

The house is just an object

But a home is where you are

I want to make my home with you

Even if we can't afford a house...

guess a house was what i grew up in.

all those white walls and deep breaths,

gloom was constant and clandestine

steady second guessin

cuz you never knew what was next.

silent movies behind windows

and tear blotched texts

so home was what i found

sown, nurtured, and grown.

my solitude is my protection

my fortress and freedom

by far the best thing i’ve ever owned

(besides m...
