Sleeping on the couch in the old house

Sleeping on the couch in the old house
Where the faucet pours hope and doubt
in equal parts.
The dreams you lived out
and the mistakes you made
haunt the breaks in the silences.
The world outside grew up with you
But when you cover your eyes and listen
You can still hear yourself walking up
the stairs
And closing the door to your bedroom.
