Dark House

Picture source

Gloom in the air,
All over my lair.
Heart so frail,
In torment I wail.
Memories so strong,
None did I wrong.
Screams deep inside,
Abandoned pillow beside.
Walls echo her giggles,
Accentuate my struggles.
Quilt holds her scent,
In my heart a dent.
Teddy that she hugged,
Broods feeling snubbed.
Letters from her kindred,
Lies scattered unread.
Backyard that she admired,
Wonders where she retired.
Plants that she mothered,
Now fall withered.
Kitty that she petted,
Meows feeling gutted.
Violin that she plays,
Now untouched it lays.
Her phone that rings,
Now in silence it sings.
Her alarm that screams,
Lost its voice it seems.
I look out the window,
For my lost rainbow.
Heart beats bloodless,
Soul feels lifeless.
As the woman I crave,
Now sleeps in her grave.
