• Warm embraces
    used to mean so much
    enveloping me in light
    now i flinch at their touch

    eyes that smile
    radiating with a deep warmth
    now hide an ulterior motive
    and glint in ways that haunt

    laughter ringing loud
    echoing merrily through the halls
    i know they hide the whispers
    of strangers behind the walls

    stride full of comfort
    of confidence and ease
    now every quaking step
    causes my heart to squeeze

    what do you do when your house isnt home anymore??
