years later
and it doesn’t feel the same
we are missing one
and a million unspoken words
whispering of a different past
barrage these four walls with every passing day
the ghost of happiness
lingers here
among rearranged furniture
and empty walls
everything is the same
and nothing ever could be again
was this how it was meant to end?
did it turn out just right
or is everything all wrong?
are we forging our way to happiness
or shattering
breaking, four separate
entities careening apart
in the wake of an ended
childhood
marriage
future
same four walls
and yet it could never be so.
when does a house
stop being a home?
