A poem for the restless soul

I wonder what it's like in that house of yours.
I wonder if the walls talk,
To each other.
I wonder if they tell stories of me.
I wonder if the floors still creak,
And if the doors squeak.
Did you put my poems in a box?
Did you burn them?
Did you read them to yourself? I wonder if you sit on my empty bed, and look around at the life that once lived.
I wonder if you left the yellow carnations to die,
Are they still sitting there?
Or did you throw in rage?
I wonder if you're calm now.
Without a soul to torture,
Do you feel relief?
I wonder if you cry,
Do men like you even feel the oceans that guide our lands?
I wonder if you acknowledge the mess you have made in my head.
My desk is cluttered,
The papers fluttered,
Coffee cup spill smothered.
I wonder if I can find a way to organize.
I wonder if I can repair,
The walls,
Floors,
Doors.
I wonder if I'll ever get to re-write the poem you tore and made all about you.
