Square One


I'm alone right here...
It's another cold night
I'm back in the house but I'm far from home
There are fingerprints on the walls
The smell of your hair on the pillow
The clothes deliberately left on the chair
The strands of hair tangled in my comb.
While I was away...
The spare key unlocked my doors
The kitchen was alive again
My shoes found their way back to the rack
I know you arranged my shelf
You helped me with my wardrobe
But while I was away,
The rains poured down too
They have washed away the footprints
The winds have taken away the fragrance
But my heart knows you were here
Even before my eyes could explain
I couldn't have folded my pyjamas that way
I know I didn't wear that white T-shirt
Neither did I leave those clothes in the dryer...
You put everything in order 
But you left my heart in a million pieces
All I have left are pictures, memories, a note on the bed and my spare key under the doormat.
Now I'm back to the start again
Alone...
