White Bungalow

Hand-painted walls and a flimsy floor,

French windows and a metallic door,

Witnessed our ups and downs,

Held our secrets and battle plans.

 

We started as strangers from somewhere,

Like wanderers coming from nowhere;

We built an empire made of trust,

We scrawled our dreams in pixie dust.

 

As time passed and life evolved,

Our realm collapsed, quivered, trembled;

Truth turned into a dagger in disguise,

Faith became a scalpel of feverish lies.

 

Souls left wounded and tormented,

A bond once whole, now torn and lamented;

Madness, treachery, and folly,

Bitter mementos etched in me.

 

So I decamped, I won’t return again

To this white bungalow of pain;

And I will never, ever forget

This haunting place of deep regret.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this about a place that once held everything—trust, dreams, and memories—and how it became something I had to leave behind.
