homewrecker,
you lived within every
callous and dimple,
invading my space
like dust between
my fingertips
your skin like wallpaper,
faded and worn,
pulled taunt along
these walls.
your thoughts
a constant thumping
of footsteps along
the floorboards
homewrecker,
from you i learnt
gunshots sound
a lot like a key
turning in a lock
it's because of you
i cannot look at
these walls, without
seeing the shadow
of a fist reflected
by the light
homewrecker,
the rooms are vacant,
the air stilled,
the hallways scream
and close in at night.
homewrecker,
i used to be an open house
but now because of you
i shut the doors
(i shut the doors)
