Not So Safe House

This was once a safe house

Now it’s a void

Half of me, half of something else

I once called your family my own

Now they’re strangers than I love

Whose lives I cannot be a part of

I’m sitting in the living room

Half the shit is gone

I’m unable to cry about it

Because it isn’t quite real

I hate this place

I once called our home

and I hate you for leaving

like it was easy

like I didn’t matter

like leaving me is breathing.
