a house stands empty down there
basks under regal halos of the lanterns above
frigid linoleum comforts those frayed and lonely walls
so ******* hollow

a family disappeared back then
abandoning tattered threads of home
joyful days and lovely times no more
so many woes ago

a roof is caving in up there
fighting to spare the wistful floor
rotting hope resigns to death
so jaded with hatred

a house collapsed right there
without the sustenance of a home
heartless remains grab vacant stares
so many end that way
