Homonyms sound the same But their meanings split And so did we ~~~~~ You opened the window Called out like you cared But when I came You slammed it shut I stood there Lost in the cold Don't you want me anymore? ~~~~~ You watch me Through the window Make eye contact But no open door I see you let others in I used to have a key Now they walk in Where I once stood Where I once laughed Where I once mattered ~~~~~ I'm so sorry for being slow Now I'm just a ghost Outside your window Would you close your curtains too? __________________________________________ Thank you so much for reading this! 🥰 If you liked my writing, please leave a comment, click the heart and subscribe for free!
