No One Home by ~Hammertime:iconHammertime:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Family Life > Open


Empty house.
No one around to share the days news
The days views
Or its consequences.

Corridors long left lonesome
Reach for me
Batting away cobwebs with
Chrome knob fingers and
Bevel edged wrists.

A widow's room
Empty at last from
A constant shuffle
of Tramps
Whores
Impersonators
and Thieves.

Dinner for one
In evenings sepia tones,
As cold air flies in on the
Tiny wings of an intoned itch.

A last look through the rooms
Before lights are snuffed
And today turns swiftly
To yesterday.

I dunno, something doesn't seem right by this one. It just doesn't seem... right. I think I might scrap it later on.

SO the way my house woprks is Dad goes out to do whatever, Terry goes out to get drunk and I stay behind because I don't have a car. Dinner was warm cereal and a few pieces of bread, because I can't be bothered putting in the effort for just me. That's just silly.

If I lay here.. if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world? Forget what we're told. Before we get too old. Just show me a garden that's bursting into life. Let's waste time chasing cars around our heads.

I'm not sure what was going through the head any more. It was late at night. Right before I went to bed, truth be told. But thanks.
