"just Four Walls"

I took the pictures down and folded all the clothes... The carpet seems new where the couch used to sit... A freshly painted outline used to hide behind our photo... The plants are gone ,the fish tank is empty, only left are echoes of our life... His and her's boxes sit by the door like Halloween candy ready to be given out.. Where love once rang out only whispers can be heard... No more lights in the window or a lit candle on the piano... The welcome mat is all rolled up like so many holidays went by.. One last glance as darkness fills the room, still the only warm memory is lingering smell of your perfume... Empty Apartment contest
