On These Walls

Abandoned hallway with a giant door
No particular knob or window
Beating...pulsing...pumping
The lifeforce within me

Decorated with her furnishings
Bedsheets and couches
A place to lay her head
Comfort and warmth of her home

The tapestry on the walls
Contain painted canvases
With portraits of us
Love speaks a universal language
I converse it with her
Every breathing moment

When she awakes from her slumber
And walks down that hallway
She stares at those pictures
With tears in her eyes

Whenever she wants to run
She reverts back to her home
Hiding under the covers
In her comfortable bed where she's safe


Her home will always remain
    In that precious place

Author notes

One of my more descriptive poems...I'm not even gonna tell you where the location is but I'm sure you all can take a guess...I want to know what you all think. She's built a home there, and it's there to stay. I miss her a lot...more than any of these poems can show...
