Wall To Wall

I walk into the room walls appear Nothing less nothing more I feel my heart crawl as the emptyness hits the floor Once a home but now undone as the close of the door The stillness surrounds my pounding heart distracts Windows the vision of fullness outside within its crowds Nobody sees my place of coldness that freezers Deepness of ivory cream painted easel The memories that have past make this a box now The pictures inside my head like an old black and white film No ticket needed just an overwhelming knowlege of whats gone before For this is my empty apartment sarah hales contest empty apartment

Such stark, cold and hard descriptions of the apartment, made me feel I was there. Wonderfully penned piece!

Your apartment is void of physical accouterments, but not emotional trappings! Good colloquial lingo to allegorically describe your inner feelings. I invite you to peruse my Empty Nest poem! I use some of the same imagery to elicit similar feelings. Have a tawnie day!
