my bookshelves are empty, my room is too. the emptiest however, is my heart for this house isn't mine anymore.
i tried to make this house a home, decorated the walls with paintings, every other empty space with plants and trinkets but alas, a house remains a house.
over the past three years, i have familiarised myself with every scratch and crack and dent in the walls. they whisper sadness as we depart.
my washroom tiles look strangely blue too. they've listened to me wail and sob and curse they've seen me dance and sing and laugh they know I'll forget about them soon enough though.
a year down the line, i will forget about the crack on the ceiling wall. i will forget about my favorite corner in the room, and promptly the house will forget me too. for the paintings will be removed, and the tiles replaced.
the walls will be painted over removing any trace of the fact that this house was once a home.
