Daily Dose of Poetry

The light's gone out

the house is dark

and everyone passes by

This darkened home

is hard to see under 

the cold relentless sky

In times gone by

it's been lit up

with colors on display

Now it sits and

waits till morning comes 

and brings with it the day

But with each day

it never heals the

pain that lingers still 

And night intensifies 

the aches with it's

cold and haunting chill

As time goes by 

the shingles fall

and crash upon the ground

The shudders break

the walls all crack 

but no one hears a sound

The hollow halls 

begin to moan

in harmony with wind

Fantasizing of the days

when flashy parties

shined within

Now cold, alone

this house will never

see the life it 

once had known
