No one
around
darkness
pressing in.
No voices,
no sounds,
just the heavy silence.
No talking,
no laughing,
no elephant feet on the stairs.
No welcome home
No "I missed you"
No hugs
No kisses
No smiles just for you.
No love
No companionship
No one
Walking through an empty house
with empty walls
and empty rooms.
Shadows cast on the walls
from my body
and only mine.
Curled up on the floor,
tears streaming down my face
trying to hold myself together
before I fall apart
Dark hearts
dark minds
dark thoughts
swirl through the house.
You never should have left
you know how you're like
and only when you're....
