I can't know you
Abandoned
to
this
way-
ward
House.
You move quite deliberate
Now.
As if I'd know.

But I don't see you.
Your shadow stepped back from the door.
I listen but I can hear
no more.
You've traveled this world long before,
any of us.

Before we knew what were searching for.
Or understood what we could have explored.

And now that you've drifted away.
Why I've lost my reason to stay
Tied to this world-
they adore.
I
see
but I
can
hear
no more
