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.
