Abandon

A house so old and ruined even the ghost moved out
shutter and boarder with the roof caved no doubt
decay and desolate not a vagrant dare
seek shelter over there

Once a proud house indeed
gave many families the home they did need
repaired and remodel throughout the years
life and love within this house was shared

The neighborhood declined
the house grew empty in time
abandon and left to rot
an eyesore time forgot

People just moved way
to better places they worked and stayed
deteriorated inside and out
schedule to be demolished no doubt

Abandon house and abandon souls
if no one cares no one knows
an empty lot where the grass grows tall
lost memories no longer recalled.
