moving out

You're moving out of me
and taking your beautiful things.
Our memories come off the walls --
The feel of your chest against my back,
The sound of you running up the steps,
And don't forget that stack of good quotes near the window.

I'm a white room now, stark.
You can't stand to see my emptiness,
you want to leave me with something.
You press your hands against the wall
to leave an imprint: "I still love you."  
You walk out the door and the imprint fades
before I hear your car start outside.
