Paying Rent For A Love That Left

Bare minimum?
Yes, I somehow learned to settle for it.

But woe to the debt of sorries I owe to myself.
Woe to the promises I tore up with my own hands.

What a love, so full of sorrow and despair!

Oh, what am I still doing
in a house once filled with love,
now empty?

The love has gone,
but resentment has moved in.
