Memories Alive & Dead

Oh blank walls-
You see it all.
You see me in all my grief-
In all my happiness-
In all my dread-

O Lovely,
You don’t know what these
Old walls see.
You’ll never hear the songs
They hear-

Oh blank walls-
You’ve always told me-
To love and love and love-

O vivacious girl,
These walls know
That as far back
as they can remember-
you’ve been worth more
to me-
Than life, death, and a full stomach.

Old walls.
Blank walls.
Covered in memories alive and dead.
