Ripley

It’s quiet here
Now that you’re gone 
The floors don’t speak softly
Missing your steps

The wind blows 
without sound
But stings 
All the same

I turn my head 
To try and find you
Then it comes
You are gone

I visit your place
In which you won’t move again
The ground is tough
But smoothens my limbs

Without you
The rage boils
 within

Home for the anger
Has no place to go
Homeless

I will keep living
So you will stay 
If only
In my mind

If only 
In the quiet
Of this place
