Empty house

An empty house

An empty home

That someone lived in

Long ago

Is now abandoned

No one's there

Dust and dirt

Carpet the stairs

Creaking floor boards

That no one hears

An empty house

For many years

Rotting wood

Of decaying doors

Fall from hinges

To the floor

A cold wind blows

Through shattered glass

Of windows broken

In the past

A house abandoned

For ever more

No one will ever

Walk through the door

Of this house

Of this home

That somone lived in

Long ago
