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
