a house you said you wanted to build a house with me to have walls and floors with pictures and lights on top of the soiled ground that i had packed so tightly, only for you to kick it up. with your steel toe shoes. i canceled my plans and broke all my promises. you sat on the steps, watching and joking, smoking a cigarette. the day i finished, i had a bright smile as i stood in your arms you had a sad, sweet smile as you left my arms, lighting your cigarette and you even winked, as you let it slip through your fingers and the flames lick and bite at the house i built from your mistakes. ~ #rawwrite #love #house #commitment #story
