Yet another personification of a battered heart

She picked the room 
with just enough space
for two people
and a poltergeist.

She sat by south-facing windows
and wrote while she waited
and waited
and waited

until the door drifted open
like a slack jaw
and the whole building
crumbled.

Who, but a ghost,
would keep returning
to the wreckage
where a home used to be?
