It hasn’t changed since
The last time she was there.
The walls still wear the
Scars of her memories.
The hardwood still creaks
The same beneath her feet.
The sun still doesn’t
Shine through the windows.
Though the demon has departed,
Its stench lingers in the air.
Burning the structure to the
Ground won’t cleanse it or her.
It must be carved from the
Earth and damned into oblivion.
She will waive her purgatory for
Eternity and choose her fate.
She’ll leave her body in the place
Which consumed her soul long ago.

It's good. I would connect it with my stepmother. In fact I dedicate it to her. I don't understand the title. It is well written and I feel good about it saying what I have not been able to put into words. I wish you would said who that person in your poem is.

I think it would sound better if read aloud.
It makes me a little sad and depressed, but that might be your intention.
For me it got a little confusing at the end, but I only read a few times.

Well, it wasn't what I expected of a poem called "Homecoming" and I suppose the title is intended to be ironic.
This is creepy but very well written.

It makes me feel like you really didn't like your school years so if that was your intention then I would say good job.
