surrounded by four tan walls that used to be
a sanctuary from the world,
from the secret whispers
and the heartache.
walls that know hot, flowing tears
and a desire for change.
that have seen the lowest
and darkest corners a heart can house.
walls that hold dreams
and the promise of hope.
four walls that remained constant
when everything shifted.
walls that offered nothing
but a room to sleep away the old
and wake up to a new day,
a clean slate
and a fresh start.
