puzzle

Three days she hadn't heard from him. Bewildered, she checked in by his house noticing that everything was immaculate. No one was around, no calls left behind, she became even more puzzled. HOw could everything be left behind so suddenly without a single peep? black mailed??? Down the hall, she stared into his room remembering the history he had given her.
Everything was peachy at her house-lots of people, yet she felt like a stranger inside her own family. Where did she belong? Needy, greedy, or sad& hurt? Beautiful skies, whimsical cards, if a father should know best-where is the real gift? or are they out there living? Crossed to the window, where the wood was plastered over from bullets, caches of dvds& games, long patriotic sheets decorated in pillows, if only he was here in this moment, just for a moment.....laying on the bed with his head in her arms against thick white walls,sacred are the candles on his dresser.
But for now everything is hollow, if only the house could speak................
