Missing Roommate

Empty rooms. Empty silence.
Permeates. Screams the obvious.
Phones, MP3s strewn on the floor.
No click, no tap, no snore.

Stale smoke clings to nostrils.
Not a home, a nomads hostel
Cheap curtains hang listless, the world outside.
Missing roommate, missing drive

Mouldy kitchen, bins are strewn
In the bed, a damaged spoon
A knife cut it
It should have kissed it.
