house
i left you in that house, that house i can never return to.
i didn’t mean to lose you, but i needed to leave and you wanted to stay.
as i turned back to call out your name, i saw the first flame.
i could have saved you. but i can't enter that house again.
we could have burned together. but i left instead.
i heard your screams and coughs.
but i can never enter that house.
