struck still
paralyzing pulse
feet hallowed
by shattered glass.
cold creeps through
broken windows.
vacant, empty shell
four walls
no longer home.
thieved by trust.
bandit wore a copy
of the key
around his neck.
took me for all i was worth
robbed me of all i had
nothing but bleeding hands
bruised ribs, swollen eyes.
familiarity retreated
alongside with him.
wasn't even spared
tears.

i have nothing.
