Empty Home

Have you ever missed someone so bad

Came in on a rainy thursday
The trees slouched their lazy limbs 
The plants withered in their pots
Not even the tulips would crack a smile

As I drag my bag off my shoulders
A sound reaches in for my heart
I thought I heard you talking softly

I turned on the lights
Dashed across the flat
In foolish hope I called out for you
But still no answer did I find

The soft pitter patter of the rain
Filling these empty walls
Ashen light from clouded skies
Slowly fading away

Color has gone from this world
Out the window it ran away
Left me in the ruins of my mind

I glanced over at the chair by the window
Only there was no one there anymore
No warm eyes staring back at me

In solitary silence 
I lose myself again
In joyous dreams of 
The days before you left

I see the fire in the sky
See the stars around me
I hear the passion in your voice
Hear you softly breathing

I feel the warmth on my back
Feel your arms around me
As you caress and reassure me 

Lightning interrupts my thoughts
Callously prompting my tears
Thunder slaps and rattles my ears 
Thrashing my head with painful memory
Memories of how you lost me
Or how I lost you

Life cares not for love or chivalry
Nor does the sun rise at my command 
So my heart will have to fight
To stand to live in this empty home

The good description left reader with thoughts and lonely place.
"Life cares not for love or chivalry
Nor does the sun rise at my command
So my heart will have to fight
To stand to live in this empty home"
Above lines could stand on their own. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Though depressing there are excellent metaphors here, as well as good descriptions for visualizations.
