I Was Like a House

I Was Like a House

A Poem by Galen Casanova

Over, and over, and over

I turned it around in my mind over and over again

Trying to view it from every angle

Trying to dissect it and see what's inside

I can't see what everyone else sees

All the faults in our foundation 

And the cracks in our walls

I am confined to one room of this house

I am stuck behind a closed door

Unable to see the leaks in the ceiling

And the shards of glass on the floor

You go about the house, breaking everything

Making it unrepairable

You've changed me from the inside out

And now I'm too far gone to come back

Too far broken to be fixed

Was this the plan all along

Or did you make it up as you went along

You're gone now and I'm left to fix these things

To repair what I can even if it isn't much

I have to put all the pieces back together

But how I can do that 

When I am unable to find all of them
