this feeling

user_382197751

this feeling

quiet, safe, small

you’re in the kitchen

shuffling footsteps down the hall

 

fall asleep in front of the tv

you love me

old and familiar 

won’t be here forever

 

this house, this fake leather couch

fraying at the seams

has been here

since I was born

 

you’re old

and so frail sometimes

where will i go?

to muffle the noise

when strangers walk these floors

and you haunt me behind every door

 

when you exist

only in my memory

will I one day forget

this feeling?
