Oh how a rotted home aches.
Floorboards agonize,
their faces betray
a life's frozen mirth.
A shattered window,
caked in cobweb
calls to her daughter in the wind.
Footprints erased by dust.
Photographs wilted and grey.
Oh how a rotted home aches.

Oh how a rotted home aches.
Floorboards agonize,
their faces betray
a life's frozen mirth.
A shattered window,
caked in cobweb
calls to her daughter in the wind.
Footprints erased by dust.
Photographs wilted and grey.
Oh how a rotted home aches.
