Laura Dee Poet Rhyme

The House We Built

Through Desperate highs by candle light
Synthetic afternoon delight
Self-righteous breaths to fill with drugs 
A longing kiss swept under the rug

Lingering shadows that stretch on the walls
Breathing in deeply the screams from the hall
Unbreakable, porcelain dolls from our dreams
To live for the moments where nothing is seen

Your whispering pleas from midnight to one 
In silence, a course bound straight for the sun
The noise of a city to smother your name 
Still piercing within, my hands to the flame

I wake up with you; forget what I knew
Forever in bloom, that porcelan view
Unbreakable dreams of yesterday’s sheen
Vibrating at frequencies lost with a dream

Crescendos are lost in words that you left
Deep within memories; moments are kept
Reliving that day; I won’t walk away
The unpayable debt that I left you to pay

So haunt me tonight; the ghosts that we made
Tune in to the radio waves that we played
Indulge in escape with whispers from you
On nights the love in view, was anything but true
