i came to your door today
you felt like home
once
you
welcomed me warmly
invited me in
showed me pictures of your children
and your beautiful wife.
we
reminisced so long
till i knew
i had no idea left who you were
you felt like home
once
you
and now i am but a spirit
pacing
haunting other people's parlors
we
exhausted
at the concept
of making a home just of
me.
