The Quiet House
by Ike E.
I walk into the house
It is so quiet and dark
Even when I turn the lights on
And I see you are not there
A tear slowly drifts down my cheek
As I walk through the house
Looking in each room
And knowing you are not there
The quiet gets so loud it hurts
I go to my chair and sit for hours
And stare off into space
It is so quiet without you
