My skins burns
where your hand scorched me with
** your touch**
the weight of it lingers there
as if
your finger tips etched itself inside my
DNA
The smell of you suffocates
me
that intoxicating scent
like an ever present shadow where
you
used to be
Walking down
these halls in this now quite
**home **
wishing they'd talk but like you their
silent
dwelling
here empty in what used be us
The foundations cracked
the paints chipping away
like faded memories of
our first kiss
the cupboards doors need some work too
I can't get the faucet to stop
leaking like my tears they fall overflowing
& I can't fix none of this
How do I mend
everything that's wrong &broken
Pictures hanging
crooked like the back patio steps
I almost fell
almost fell so hard
with no one to catch me you
should of
tried
to catch me so many times
Because
I'd of broke my neck
like you've broken my heart
The foundations
cracked
the paints
chipped
chipping away
Even though
this house is falling apart
I'll find a way to fix it....
Maybe
then this house
will once more be
HOME
