House of Memories

A house filled with bad and sad memories,
Always bound to be left behind just like its stories.
The house became the final place before her ending
As well as became their own new beginning.

Though this tragedy shall always remain in her loved ones' minds
It will also always remain a life lesson that still binds.
Secrets only shared out of a need for closure,
Her mother slowly but surely closing the book on this chapter.

Soon they shall have the relief they are waiting for.
Even as she, with all of her grief, finally closes the door.
We all lament of what could have been had she not went,
We resent just how things could have been so different.

But together we shall all move forward,
Knowing we'll always have her spirit and each other;
At all of our new beginnings and endings. 
So we will remember there will always be a new chapter.
