Up the walk and through the door
To my house I am a guest;
I recognize things once mine
To this unwanted pest;
Sleeping in a stranger's bed
I wonder when I'll rest;
Unseen silence fills the room
Like a rising tide to crest;
Inside/outside doors the same
No place is ever best;
My home was within her
Inside her beating chest;
The light is gone to endless sleep;
My dreams by darkness wrest.
