there are spaces in places that exist
where you find yourself
but not in any meaningful way
you inhabit that place
fill that space
with the same hurt you've clung so hard to
do you sit there
stand there
lie there
ever wondering the significance you give
to that place
that space
you so tenderly fill
is it better were you to no longer occupy it
could there be some meaning to a space no longer filled
devoid of you and everything you gave to it
can you haunt a haunt
would the ghost of you make a better guest
or would it just be a space in a place
empty, no longer filled with you
by you
for you
