An Empty Room

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
