Soulless Windows On the rain wet pavement I stand The cold memory chills my heart In the third floor window no glass Just soulless boarded grey eyes No laughter reverberate the walls or children’s chatter to lighten air disturbing unknown neighbours The scent of your love lingers on interwoven with cloying sad decay Walls remain but you are long gone to a new life somewhere far away not reachable to my inner self That you are lost makes me bitter but I understand why you had to go Why did you not take my memories that force me unbidden to return to this cold rain splattered street You are still in our empty apartment 1st in Contest Empty Apartment Sponsored by: Matt Caliri
