A Poem

By lizzy danbyPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Old rugs and frayed ends. Broken glass and forgotten times. Empty cupboards and cobwebbed corners. The cracked floorboards senescence. The most astounding pendent hanging above, dust-covered; derelict. The presence of the past still lingering in the now uninhabitable infinite. The long grass, encompassing, portraying the lost to the living.

It's no challenge to ideate the forgone of the edifice based on the belongings. The more time spent in the static environment, the more intrusive my thoughts become to the departed. Enveloped by the life of another, simply a spectator in the abandoned existence of another's home.
