The Memories That Cling

The empty room looks at me accusingly

the bare walls glare at me

I glance around this room

thi s one last time

tears rolling down my cheeks

the curtains move gently in the wind

as if waving goodbye

 

I loved this room

with the white and blue wallpaper peeling in the corner

the wardrobe door that never quite shut

the lampshade that hung too low

the blinds that would never go all the way up

the memories that cling to the walls

the laughter that the ceiling remembers hearing

the tears that the wardrobe recalls

the love the floor reminisces on

 

I will miss this room

and all the people who helped make this room a part of me

 

Goodbye dear room

you’ve served me well

through all the laughter

and the tears

the anger

the love

 

thank you for being there

 

Goodbye dear room

I’ll miss you
