Empty

The blank walls shine like the ones at a pearly bank

The floors on wood where so much has withstood

I down the halls I take a chance and glance

Even though we couldn’t stand it any longer, it has made me stronger

As I glance at the halls once filled with romance

I place his stuff in a pile, and I smile

I am finally free, but not without misery 

It took some time to commit the crime

But in the end he could never be more than my friend

I place my hand on the doorway brace

And pull it open and feel the breeze on my face

The comforting silence of no one near makes me feel like ill have a better year
