Haunted Home

I wanted so badly to know every darkened piece of coal beneath your sooted mantle See for myself how every well lit pane Became a sunlit stage Where the glittered dust danced so graceful How every long hallway corridor led to every spiral staircase Alway leading to something more The home you built, the person that you are I wanted so badly to share with you, my soul the messy, slightly broken home I rebuilt with stone And called my own finding common grounds beneath each other Our shared days were spent in cherished laughter Our Nights held sacred as we explored one another Laying out upon the sheets blueprints that were seldom blue Describing to each other all of our rooms From the textures of the floors And the nails in every board To the displays on the walls And all that they saw We shared the rooms full of light And the ones we chose to keep locked tight The messes in the corners we couldnt seem to clean And future renovations we hoped to soon see I fell in love with the walk throughs you gave to me So into your hands I placed my key I trusted you so I entrusted to you all that was me In love with the home that you described I soon danced in its halls inside my mind Forgetting the key you would never provide Blending instead your home and mine Upon common grounds made from truthless soil We set the table and watched it spoil The aging of time caused the foundation to shift life rubbed holes through the walls and the brick The truth revealed through the facade now thinned lies built the home I loved and the house where you hid
