Size
My house is too big.
Its not overtly huge, its just too big for me.
It used to house four people and now it houses two.
Now I walk from room to room and it feels empty.
The sheer amount of time it takes to go from one side to the other bears no fruit of welcome.
My footsteps echo with no warmth to catch them. No one to greet them. No one to meet them.
I lay on the cold tile floor last night during the thunderstorm and listened for life.
I didn't hear a god damn thing. Only silence. The once full house that made pleasant creaking noises at night has gone quiet.
I'm sure it has something to do with me. It doesn't sense my happiness anymore, only void.
Numbness that nothing seems to remedy. Its cold & no amount of blankets will help.
No, I don't want to talk about it. Wait, scratch that.
I'm broadcasting at all frequencies, but a pirate signal has taken over.
You see calm, brooding, sometimes happy me.
I see grays, dull, muted. I'm screaming at the top of my lungs in here.
Wait.
