i left that place,
called home and haven
and a piece of me broke off.
lost, in the disarray of moving
leaving untethered threads
in the empty space
of that safety
i feel the ghost of its presence
moving through the halls.
fading laughter, greetings,
remnants of the warmth that used to envelope me when i crossed the threshold
blindly, grasping at air
i search for the piece
i once had, in silent wishes
and hopeless longing
