Today I walked into the house <br />Where we once had a life <br />The empty halls the barren walls <br />So alone am I tonight <br /> <br />The places where your pictures stood <br />Your clothes that hung when times were good <br />But most of all I miss more than all <br />Is the holding you when I could <br /> <br />They say that fate it has it's reasons <br />For what happens in our lives <br />Well fate for me it's had it's turn <br />And has left these tears I cry <br /> <br />Now as I walk these lonely halls <br />And I stare at barren walls <br />I realize so alone am I <br />I can't help the tears that fall <br /> <br />As I walk into our room <br />The fragrance is still of your perfume <br />So alone can be a life <br />When for love the heart it cries.<br /><br />Bill Simmons<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/barren-walls/
