UNTITLED
Close the window that’s never open
Shut the door unhinged and broken
Walk in rooms derelict and neglected
Discover something you never expected
Through the shell that once was home
A scene now reminiscent of a warzone
Debris strewn across the floor
What once was vibrant now no-more
Broken pictures, shattered dreams
Fallen ceilings and twisted beams
Dust so thick it looks just like snow
Blocked fireplace that once was aglow
Every room with a story to tell
Good, bad, happiness, hell
Memories rebuild and create a scene
A vision of happiness and daily routine
Winding stairs creaking as you go
Considered steps steady and slow
Taking the time to take it all in
Finding your feet before you begin
Like a child, somewhere you shouldn’t be
But curiosity takes over and you have to see
Individual pieces, a reminder of the past
In the blink of an eye gone too fast
Time goes slow but soon you must leave
Time to reflect time to grieve
Walking away down the stairs and out of the door
Down the path turning to glance once more
Left behind a broken house garden overgrown
Years of worry and stress, future unknown
An emotional journey reliving the past
Distant memories are all that last
Upon the carriage no longer in charge of the reins
Thoughts and prayers are all that remains
Leaving the past to lie starting a chapter new
Mustering what courage you can find to see you through
