This Barren Place

i disguised my thoughts
and closed all of the doors to my dreams
one by one

it’s the only thing i could do
to tidy up
after we said goodbye

i close my eyes and put my
fingertips on the glass
the cold slowly creeps up my arm

and i had to tip toe around the house
in fear i will wake you in my haste
to leave this barren room
this barren place
