Losing My House

I’m about to lose my house

A place where I once coveted my spouse

Where I ate, made love, and even trapped a mouse

Now I feel as if I’ve been dowsed,

Memories that will not be forgotten for sure

A sadness that I can barely endure

There was supposed to be a future

All of those ulterior motives that weren’t so pure,

She danced in and then danced right out

Oh you should have seen her scream and shout

However, that’s not what love’s about

It takes care and being sturdy and stout,

It seems the heartbreakers never get caught

Somewhere here a lesson should be taught

Take heed when a temper is inappropriately hot

Might as well have left blood on that spot,

A house that was once a home

Where affectionate spirits once roamed

Where future seeds were surely sown

Where heartache penetrated to the bone,

Part of my soul will be left in that house

A place where I used to touch her blouse

A place where I once had no doubts

Yet, in her mind I became a louse,

I’m about to lose my house

A place where I once coveted my spouse

Where I ate, made love, and even trapped a mouse

Now I feel as if I’ve been dowsed.
