Reserved the finest room for you at the inn
Tirelessly prepared your quarter for your arrival
Decorated it with deliberation
Lavished it in love
Arranged space for us to confer on matters of the heart
Made sure all the personalities had on their best face
Excellent PR went into this endeavor
Made sure no rumors of hauntings would scare away guests
You could search for skeletons and find none
Repainted the visage with an extra coat
Placed your name at the top of the manifest in the most exquisite handwriting
Placed a sign above the entrance that said "Welcome Home"
There's always a red carpet, but no one makes it flow like you
Waited intensely for your confirmation
No phone call
Said you'd be happy with an open invite
Haven't heard from you since
The staff grows restless
Feeling foolish for going out of my way with all these preparations
Other tenants feel neglected
Good people
Not suggesting that you're not good
Just don't think you realize how perfect this place was for you
No word from you on the Holidays
A time when you call those you care for
Take down the tapestries from the door
Set them aside for now
Lock them away in the room that's never been seen with all the rest that's beautiful
Greet the next guests
Business as usual
