Cracks in the ceilings of our skulls 

blood on the walls of our flesh 

the floorboards of our bones creak 

with memories of agitated screams 


We tumble down the stairs of insanity 

twisting knives of betrayal in each other's backs 

scarring the wallpaper of our skin 

with wounds that never heal 

etched in self-loathing and guilt 


Skeletons in our closets 

feed the lies festering 

in the attics of our minds 

sinking us into the flooded basements 

of our blackened, bitter hearts 


Our moods swing like pendulum clocks 

insomnia drifts through restless halls 

lights flicker with mounting anxiety 

toxic emotions spread like a gas leak 

poisoning the air 

coating our home in fresh layers of disrepair 


Gaping holes 

in the ruins of our crumbling foundation 

trauma lurks behind locked doors 

as we shut each other out 

leaving behind the bruises of mutual abuse 

traded with tender spite 


This house is haunted 

by the vengeful ghosts 

conjured up from all the heartbreak 

that we failed to exorcise
