rooms

layers of dust have begun to
gather in the corners
there are books filled with words
no one ever remembered

the couch is worn
and tattered on the arms
the rug has thinned over time
where the tv sat flickering on

the rooms have emptied
where once laughter filled
half the furniture is gone
and moved along

some things go
and some things are left behind
but the memories always linger
in the rooms of time
