"The Pink House" (Patreon)

I spent the summer in a house of stone

Pink walls held pictures we hung together

The chandelier in the foyer sparkled like stars

Digging holes in the backyard to hide our treasures

And the train tracks ran out front

Where the lake shone in that summer sun

And became a mirror of lights under the moon

We played for hours like children without school

Then it all vanished

Autumn came and you were gone

My pink house crumbled to dust at my feet

The pictures we hung are empty

The chandelier in the foyer is off center

You stole our treasures from the yard

The train stopped running

And the lights on the lake have died

I hope your new house is beautiful

I hope it crumbles too

I hope you have to watch

And think of me in my pink house
