House Of Souls
I invited you into my house
You didn’t hesitate to walk through my door
You left foot and hand print bruises and
You made my walls and floor boards sore
You splintered the stairs up to my bedroom and
You tore holes in all the sheets
You broke every spring inside my mattress and
You’ve made it impossible for me to sleep
You didn’t stop when you heard noises
Echoing through the halls
You didn’t stop when you heard
Phantoms banging on the walls
You walked down to my fireplace
To warm your bitter hands
You can burn this whole house to the ground but
My foundation will withstand
After burning every chair and every shelf that you could find
You began to realize that the house I built
Was just a state of mind
You walked down the cement steps and
Out into my garden
You picked every rose you came across and
Under your feet the ground began to harden and
As the thorns tore through your callused flesh
Your rage spilt out into the dirt
From the moment I first met you
My garden turned into a desert
I am incomplete and rotted now
Left to wither with the roses
You ripped me up from the ground and
My body’s decomposing
You see, what was planted in my garden
Was my body, heart, and soul and
When you trampled on my flowers
You took a piece and left me with a hole
