I remember this house

I remember this house
with perfectly symmetrical windows and sign out front that said "Best yard of the month."

There was this house
It had walls too big to fill with picture frames and an entry way that saw too many goodbyes.

There was this house
my room was pink and filled with empty promises, the room next to me was blue.
There is a room downstairs filled with nothing but a fireplace thats never been lit, but I can feel the heat.

There was this house
with a sign out front that says "for sale" but gives no detail about why that left window is a little crooked.

There was this house
it gave off the vibe of everything is perfect but there is a sign out front that says "just wait until you see inside"

There was this house
and there were 2,190 days worth of words that bounce off the walls, an everyday reminder of the crack that went right down the middle.



I remember this house
and it feels like home.
