The House of Dust

Down in the backwoods,

There's a large house

Filled with memories and distraught

Abandoned, misunderstood

Sheets covered the furniture,

The stairs are giving way

The walls stained,

The floors filled with decay

But all I see is marble,

A Victorian style home

It holds empty thoughts,

It's now a lifeless tomb

I once saw a joyful spirit

Which turned into tainted hearts

These four walls held secrets

It's foundation had fallen apart

As I leave I turn around,

My heart clenches at the sight of us

Our family fell apart

In the House of Dust
