Here, I'm sitting at a fancy restaurant. My date bought me a nice champagne. Painted in red, my lips leave a smirk. I know, how to make this man more tempted. I might spend tonight in this man's arms. Or someone else would share coffee cups. Maybe tomorrow I will focus on my career And cast them aside forever. Maybe, this month my salary will get a hike. But I must go back to the empty house only to dine. I travelled to this foreign land leaving behind a home, Thinking that home was limiting me. Neighbours think that I am soaring here high alone; Little do they know that ambition has no mercy. Sometimes I can't see the Sun here. Sometimes it rains here with snow. Sometimes the chilly wind is quite severe. Sometimes the heat drops too low. And I scroll through my social media To I look for some old albums. There I find some friends in sepia; And I can feel the chasm. That's why when a man gave me a note today, "What can I get for you, Hun?" My shivering fingers could only type back, "I just want to see my mum."
