Empty House Poem by adrian sykes

Empty House



Only cold and empty rooms remain
now that our love has packed it's case and left.
Rooms once so full of life and laughter, filled with our warm love
are now just a painful memory of what we had.

How did it come to this?

Was it the lies, the lack of thought,
maybe even careless and cruel words exchanged between us.
So many things we both can blame.Do we have the strength and courage to face the truth, no matter what it is or whose to blame? .

Perhaps the time has come to leave, to find a sanctuary of my own.
To be alone with my own thoughts, feelings and ideas.
It's so sad.

And to think, no more will you fall asleep resting your head on my shoulder, and me no longer waking up to your wonderful and bright smile and looking forward to the day ahead.

What happened? .

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

In the emptiness of this rooms, no doubt a place that houses some regret....if not many remembrances. Like sadly waving goodbye...Quite a honest, heartwretching write....I hope the healing comes. PEACE
