Home is Where my Body Sleeps

remembering you felt like a dream
the way you held me beneath the pale moonlight  
how it beamed on your winter blues  
it was enchanting  
 
home was how you looked at me
through windows and pictures and writing  
i never thought you’d close me away  
with heavy curtains  
burn every polaroid  
and tear journal entries  
I’m slaughtered inside  
four walls that we shared  
home was my refuge  
when you lived there  
 
bricks keep it in  
let my heart hide  
ring my doorbell
nothing’s inside  
 
i am rotting away with the wood of your love  
i am tortured by your aftertaste  
on a beaten couch I will stay  
as my blood and guts seep
into the fabric of tragedy
home is where my body sleeps
