Front steps cracked
Nameplate gone
Key still warm
Door swings on its own
Hallway breathes
Wallpaper curls
Every picture frame
Turned flat to the wall
This is the house where it happened
All of the shouting still stuck in the air
Every nail in the floorboard remembers
They all know
They all know
This is the house where it happened
Cupboards and corners that still will not speak
I walk room to room like I'm searching
For something that should never be seen
Red tape line
Ghost of a chair
Coffee ring stain
Nobody there
One shoe left
By the back porch rail
Whole life paused
Mid-exhale
This is the house where it happened
All of the shouting still stuck in the air
Every nail in the floorboard remembers
They all know
They all know
This is the house where it happened
Cupboards and corners that still will not speak
I walk room to room like I'm searching
For something that should never be seen
