Empty House

As I walk around this empty house

The shadows are laughing at me.

They see my agony and pain

But they do nothing to comfort me.

Through their taunting I hear them say

This house is not home.

And I quickly reply

But this home is where I’ll stay.

I open doors to see him there

I look below and there she stares.

I close my eyes and my heart is pumping

Like its running away

Beating and gasping for life

Trying to pick up the pieces

I feel something reach for me

But nobody’s there

I can’t scream

I can’t cry

Only my fears fill the air.

I try to find my way out

But I’m falling too fast

Step one and step two

Are my future and my past.

I see some sunshine

Peeking through the darkness.

I walk and I shiver

I can feel its closeness.

I push and I fight trying to flee from the madness

But no matter how hard I try

I can’t grasp my true happiness.

So I give up in despair and

I walk through the house

Turning everything upside down

Even my wishes and my doubts.

I settle down to give up

And wait for Love there

Hoping and dreaming

For a rescue so near

Yet too far away

To hold on to and care

I fall asleep waiting in waste and despair.

To wake up and find

That my Faith is still there

Smiling and opening the path

To somewhere.

I stand and take hold

Of the hands that find mine

Leading me to reality

With a promise so rare…

To find love that surpasses them all

True happiness unending

A home full of peace

Designed just for me

Made for only me

Fitting only me

Constructed on a foundation

Of friendship and trust

No jealousy or misfortune

Can ruin or destruct.

I’m walking around this empty house

Free to be Me

I’m taking it back, my own Destiny.
