Abandoned
Beyond the tracks stands an abandoned shack,
The bare bones of what was once a home
So full of hope and light
Standing alone, weathering the storms and unmoving
Through the seasons, holding on,
Almost as if waiting in vain for somebody to care,
Waiting for the one who dares
You'd never know by the looks of it today,
But this forgotten shelter was once full of joy and life
Yet it also holds a history tragic and deep
These walls tell a love story, ending in defeat
And so this abandoned shack, it reminds me of my heart:
Not wanting to give up, though on the verge of collapse
Still housing remnants of the ghosts of those
Who swore on their souls to never part
The ones who found a home in me when I was strong,
But wore me out right from the start
Then walked away for good, when I began to fall apart
