Room You Are Full Of...
Room you are toneless now,
Room you don't belong to me,
I want another room, I want one
without your tatty memories.
I want to brush you out into the streets where
you'll become a debris full of children's
laughter.
Room you are murderous,
You make me feel like an accident,
Room you've made me weep too many times,
I am sick of you and all your bricks...
Your books all empty,
Your gas stoves hissing,
Wall paper crying, sighing it doesn't matter
for your windows have become
tape recordings of the night
and only death will shove you to sleep.
I am going to leave you,
Going to spend all my dreams,
Once in you I could lie and hear
the spying moon apologize
as it tiptoed through the clouds
and left you in your special darkness.
But its different now, now
only the rain splatters through
and the one other sound is you whispering:
"I'm not around you, I'm in you,
all my walls are in you."
Room you are full of my own graves.
