Abandoned, Not Broken

a house abandoned walls caved in the windows no panes and the floors creek yet still a spark of beauty flawed and few nothing inbetween i stay reflecting on the past… it used to be thriving full of life kids playing, people residing the memories the walls hold indents of several souls the history of not one but two, i take a step back a dark shadow sweeps through i slowly watch the rug unroll its clearer now, a story unfolds the faint echo of screaming and the vision of blood shot eyes gleaming tear stained curtains rip off the wall the cracks aren’t just age, they’re scars, i withdrawal the hands of man destroyed her beauty left her falling apart, while neglecting his duty’s i can’t help but think she’s stayed so strong throughout the years still standing tall despite hers scars and constant fear but, she’s abandoned now, all withered and torn at the hands of a man she once adorned but beneath the surface her foundation stayed strong it’s the beauty within that’s made her last this long.
