The vines crash through the windows

The sand swallows the floor

A home that usually glows

Has lost what it was intended for

My heart was abandoned by you

And I feel stuck in time,

Remembering when it was just us two

And we could conquer every climb

People now borrow my home,

And leave it worse than they found it

And all my heart does is roam,

But still find myself in this bottomless pit

You abandoned my love

And my once enamored colored lenses

Are stained with phrases like “was”

And blurred all of my senses

This house haunts me,

How you broke down the door and left

Now all I want is to be free

But I am bruised and bereft
