A heart was vacated
forgot the key
Lonesome little wretch of me
found the key
opened the lock
remains of him left quite a shock
like a stranger in my own room
assuming this red chamber's monsoon
could be presided as my own
never had I ever known
look in the mirror that he left
claiming this residence could be theft
but still I stay amongst his things
a lingering feeling that alway stings
maybe I should take my leave
feeling like lungs refuse to breathe
should he have ever left?
his slow vacation's quite a mess.
How I need to claim this chamber
one of four but never the changer
stay in one amongst his remains
but does this room still feel the same?
Does it wish to rid of him?
or am I intruding? Commiting sin?
Stealing his place inside this room
Did he leave a bit too soon?
Staring at the cluttered floor
lacing veins stretch evermore
The slow thump of the rooms own pulse
Will it shatter, break, convulse?
Can I call this dear heart mine?
am I staring at his clock? Wasting time?
My need to hide inside this place
Never seeing behind it's race
knowing that blue eyes are tattered
thinking of how he had mattered
and still I remain inside this cluster
removing all the feelings the heart could muster
and feeling the walls slow steady thump
quicken in pace as her blood pumps
Alas he enters for belongings
Disregarding whatever pain it brings
and I feel clouded in sorrow
in the way his brow does furrow
when he see's a new resident
that this room does give consent
"Take care of her" He whispered by the door.
Closed the door to the heart I adore
and left inside this room is me
but I do doubt, of him, it's free.
Do you still love him? . . .
