"House Is Vacant"

My house was plain and simple until you came to visit.
The exterior had a fresh coat of paint and a newly manicured landscape.
I had just bought the mat that said welcome home.
The interior had new white carpet on the floors and a fresh coat of white paint on the walls.
I let you add your own touch to my place since I thought you were going to be there for awhile.
Instead you painted the walls red and soiled the carpet with mud you brought in from outside.
All because of you, my house is in a condition beyond repair.
I've been trying to sell this house for 8 years now but can't seem to let people in.
People turn around at the door once they see the damage you've done.
This house is still vacant with me locked inside.

"Blury"

Looking out the window waiting on you to come ova.
You said you needed more time. I said I'll wait.
It's 3 hours latter and it starts to rain.
I'm wondering where you are.
You haven't called to let me know what's going on.
6 hours latter the rain stops but the sky is still gray.
I see a familiar figure walking to my door.
The bell rings. I look thru the peep hole to see if it's you.
I can't see clearly.
My eyes can't seem to focus thru this cloud of fog
Left by the rain.
I see a familiar figure.
Is it you?
