This house is the loudest house ever!
crashes in the middle of the day
exploding Jack O Lantern
slamming doors
and the knocking on glass
a wind sweeps by me
I seem to get along with her just fine.
I look forward to her visits
As a young girl at age 14
her long dark hair
and brown eyes
were becoming of her.
just a glimpse is all I ever see
I put a chair in the hallway
and wait for her to come sit
she always enters the room
with a loud noise
and a familiar smell
she is not a quiet visitor
the house keeper
and she shows me around the house
in the most delightful way
this is what she wears
found in the attic
and her shoes
were made to order
she was one of a kind
and is
this old lady
can be aggressive
as she warns me
The house has taken me
I care for her
my ritual
is held within
unknown

another entry from the diary, her tone has changed within the last few years. I have to wonder is this part made up? She only vaguely speaks of him. Is this phantom character make believe?

Weather: It's getting cold outside, the flannel sheets are on the bed.
every time he leaves
I think
if I just would have given him
one more kiss
or that I should have
squeezed him harder
and maybe even
a little longer
I walk through the emtpy house
finding remanants of him
"weekend leftovers"
hold me
over again.
You never really part
because I keep you
in my heart
