in shadows cast
by a broken facade
we once existed 
in this old home
stained glass 
from hushed secrets
the lies fell one by one
on the ledge 
a breath away from freedom
these empty walls
now echo with echos
absorbing words of anger
stale smoke now lingers
through every room
screaming to be heard
but no one there to listen

and somewhere inside
that fragmented place
a part of her is still there
hidden in memories
