The abandoned house

Alone and abandoned the house stood bare,
Cracked walls and floorboards

Lots of love it still has to share

It once stood tall once stood proud

Full of happy families joyful and loud

Empty shelves and cupboards

Bare floorboards and walls

No more laughing children

Running down the halls

Vines grow through windows

Grass through the floors

No more cooking in the kitchen

No more banging doors

Scary and dark

Abandoned and alone

No more happy memories

Will it be shown.

Spiders in their webs

A home only for a mouse

Someone needs to come along and tend to this house

READ BETWEEN THE LINES

AND SURELY YOU WILL SEE

THIS POEM IS NOT ABOUT A HOUSE

IT IS REALLY ABOUT ME
