Four Walls And An Empty Space

And the dusty couch you would run around to try & chase me through the house

and the worn out run and the door above- could not walk by without a hug.

    Four walls

    and an empty space.

Did your tires screech? Did you ever reach

that place that you were going to?

did you get there fast as you wanted to?

and were they waiting there for you?

    Four walls

    and an empty space.

When I put my arms around you and I told you it would be allright

I wasn’t so sure and it may turn out that I was lying

but I wanted to convince you that I understood the reason why

and I knew the difference between see you later

and goodbye……

Stretched across my ribs

in this fleshy drum

from where the laughter used to come

and all the skin

tween my lips & chin

that would flatten when I’d grin

    Four walls.

    And an empty space.
