Abandoned House

January 1, 2015

I am empty

With no more furniture in me

All life had left

My windows are shattered

Doors broken down

Beams cracking

My floor boards are torn

Wood is ruined

I am beyond repair

Since you have left me

I have stood alone

Waiting for your return

Though deep down

I know you'll never come back

You've abandoned me

But if you ever need a house

I will stand for you

Because though you've broken me

I will stand for you

I will shelter you

If only you'd come back
