After you left I moved to a bigger house as if I needed more space for my thoughts of you as if I had the strength to remember you
I measured the size of each room and touched every corner of that tremendous place trying to guess how many moments how many of our early mornings in embrace it would take to repel the shadows of emptiness to turn the color and shade of my contempt
I opened each window and closed my eyes, shutting out the wailing of a so tired heart holding the silence in all its weight
That day, I listened for the sound of your steps -in case you remembered to return what was once everything to me.
