sturdy is the no vacancy sign.
so called lovers outstayed their welcome
the damage left behind cut deep with scars that linger
neon words now reflect the construction underway
the doors remain locked and the shades stay drawn
but everything shifts when the traveler arrives
he's from afar and came alone
promises are made that he's here to stay
dust stirs as the wounded doors are opened
shattered glass scattered from past betrayals
the traveler doesn't seem to mind the imperfections
he swears to mend what has been broken- piece by piece
without hesitation, the traveler unpacks his bags
the distant roads no longer call for his miles
the no vacancy sign still stands tall and bold
but this time, it signifies something new
the traveler has claimed this shelter as his home
