Corners

The corners of the wall in my room 
stare at me. 
I am a boy jumping on the bed. 
I am a teenager listening to the radio. 
They're there. 
Same colour, same shape, staring at me. 
I'm anxious over a girl I'm crushing over. 
They're still there. Unchanged. 
Are they hoping for me? 
I brought her home. 
I'm kissing her passionately. 
We fuck. 
We're in love
talking about being old by a fireplace. 
They stare. 
Are they happy for me? 
She's gone. 
I'm crying my destroyed soul out. 
They...
They've not changed a fraction. 
They are staring at me. 
Ever the same. 
Always there. 
Staring...
Are they judging me?
I'm gone. 
They're still there. 
Do they miss me?
