Empty Houses

A Poem by Cheyenne Blalock

Have you ever mourned the loss of a life that was still alive? Their heart still beating, lungs still breathing, brain still working but their soul and spirit has died? Just an empty house begging to be filled begging to be loved by anyone who has nice hair and pretty eyes that says hello while they are already waving goodbye, but this house still believing all their lies but this house will smile and push on through no matter how much this man chips away at you.

This house trying to make a home out of the fake love he is willing to give because you just can't be empty again but there is one thing you forget to look to, your children are building their houses too.

So while your loved with conditions and fear the people that loved you unconditionally can't have a voice or can't be near because your too busy letting his rotten soul because your own turning your empty house into a fake home.

Your children see this but you don't let them speak but when they do you yell manipulation and its funny because the only manipulator is you.

So the question still remains Have you ever mourned the loss of a life that was still alive? I do everyday that you would care anyway, because I have never been apart of your home but that's ok because I grew my own.
