No Longer Home

I only have a few words to say,
They echo in the hallways of my head,
The ones now left empty And hollow.
I walk through them,
Staring at our memories hanging on the walls,
I could let hate set fire to this house in my mind,
Let it burn the woodlands of my heart black,
Yet I can't,
My metaphorical hands will continue to reach for you,
Because true love never dies,
Even after the flame of passion is doused,
And our limbs are sore from the punches we throw,
I can no longer text you at two A.M.
I can no longer call you darling,
So for now I will walk these empty halls,
Laying my bruised heart on pillows of hope,
And heal.
All the time loving you still
