A Misplaced World

a suitcase packed with secrets

a book seldom read

a broken watch that only shows

the past hours instead

a mirror covered with dust

a path that lays nothing ahead

a broken door colored with use

knocking but no sound is heard

a tree left without a leaf

everything it had has been shed

a place we once called home

left to ruins longing to get repaired
