This House |

Long lost comfort filled the air rejoicing to be back I inhaled the sweet reunion And reveled in it's healing A sigh of relief escaped my lips My santuary had been purified I combed through the madness that ensued Stripping footsteps from the floors And banishing anything of yours With a slow descent down the stairs, I let my palms ride alond the smooth wooden hand rail It was then i felt you You were still in this house somewhere The beckoning of discontent Wrapped it's cold grip around my heart And pulled me down the last few steps, To look for you Though your body was long gone At that moment, your essence still raped my tranquility Only I can live in this house that is my own Like a haunting from a distant grave Your voice still chilles me to the bone Leaving marks on my subconscious Then I saw your face Trying to hang on by a rusty nail on the wall Disgust and distain crept back into my body As I began to remember All the noise of raw disorder And your schizophrenic ways All those tears that i had shed before Again, welled up in my eyes "This house is mine," I said You and those days Will be left outside to die With a fist i smashed your lingering smirk Until my knuckles were wet with blood No part of you will thrive here "No more!" I screamed "No more!" I looked down at the shattered remains With my blood in croplets across your face A wave of satisfaction flowed through me This is just how i wanted to see you Broken in pieces on the floor Jusy how you left me |
