Take one last look and try to remember
\nbefore the dying room collapses into the Earth.
\nThis was once your sanctuary
\nnow it\u2019s dust and dirty truths
\nas you pair the jigsaw of a memory to the physical.
\nWhere your bliss was, is also where you laid aching
\nfor the brooding sky to swallow you into nothing.
\nThe musings on these walls were only there to
\nmake up for the lack of sunny memories.
\nThe split, spider-web mirror didn\u2019t catch any smiles

\nthere is no place for you here.
\nAt least, not anymore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
