the Home We Built

when you say you want me
my whole world is vibrant with life
and when you reach to hold me
I am safe in your arms

when you say you're leaving
my whole world drowns in tears
and when you claim to hate me
I remember every time you lied
but I cannot remember a time
I hated waiting for you

because I am a ghost
an idea, a concept, your imagination
and I mold into what you wish
and if nothing is what you see
then nothing I shall be
for I will be anything for you

but when you finally leave
I will wait right here in yearning
and every day I will remember
past the loss and the hurting
my dedication to my love for you

so days turn to months then to years
in my heart there's still a home for you
it's furnished still with your memory
your body, your scent, and your eyes of blue
It remains there in a quiet land
the land that was made from me and you

one day I will be alone
so cold and old and weary
an empty house with just memory
happy thoughts and sentiments
even when I reach my remaining breaths
I will still be waiting here for you
