Abandoned, lies a gilded frame Its forged glass guardian now shattered The photo ripped out from its core Family larceny unreported Fraught vestiges of uproar Child's reflections resonate in bath bubbles The drive way desecrated An aimless teddy and a wheelless toy car A photo a souvenir of their time together Entranced in a grounded life boat An anchor now lies detached Ghostly outlines prone on the sandy shore The front door firmly ajar Windows flap in the hostile wind Chimneys spouting fungal spores A back door overlooks an overgrown jungle Disputes never resolved Children like puppets on a tight rope Collateral damage piled high A broken family powerless in lifes high seas

Where once a photograph beamed their love, now stands a blank wall
You called me "temperamental." You said I’m “taciturn and I'm spoiled.” We were in the crowded cafeteria, so I refused to become embroiled. I wanted to say you’re conceited - a know-it all , with stupid hair and between your ears there’s nothing there. But what you said stuck in my head. No more texts! I'm ignoring your thread. I have things to tell you - to your face - and that would be Monday (I'll have to wait). You think you’re hot - but NO, your NOT - and I'm done helping you study. Your jokes are lame your kisses tame and by the way - your dog is ugly.

the wait...
I've let her tears rain down To the point that I think I'm gonna drown they cover my chest straight down to the ground and I don't think I can make it. They have filled the cracks and rushed the halls destroyed racks, tables, curtains and all. and all for what? Because our hearts would never stop the continuous brawl and sorry is buried deep beneath this ridiculous free fall. Stop the tears before you fill my lungs and choke me to death. Life has differences and they are the causes of our loves last breath. I still love just a little doubt. Like a deserts well during a drought. I will be filled again. So just Absorb me in your house of tears and let me hang by the ear in the basement with my fears and troubles. Until it collapses and we are left beneath the rubbles masses. Trying to breathe for air hoping that someday we would actually care.

"House of Tears"
There he left me Discarded Without a word Like a broken glass on the sidewalk Pieces every which way. Jagged little fragments With no intention Or possibility Of putting itself back together. I'm losing faith.
