this house stands
as a reminder to me
every unspeakable act,
every broken promise,
every painful memory.
it stands here
and mocks me.
i'm not so sure
why i've stayed here so long,
you'd think that by now
i'd be long gone.
but something here
keeps drawing me closer.
closer to the lies,
the hate, the abandonment.
I HATE THIS F***ING PLACE!
and yet here i stay....
