The House That Used To Be A Home All The Life And Love Now Is Gone Deserted And Desolate Chipping Paint, Fallen Shutters Disarry And Decodence The House That Used To Be A Home Now Stands Decrepite And All Alone Haunting Of Souls That Have Passed Through With Echos Of Voices That Life Once Knew In The House That Used To Be A Home Pain And Sadness Left Behind Joyous Memories In Decline Silent Suffering Some Don't Know In The House That Used To Be A Home

It reminds me of every house I ever moved out of- looking it over one last time before shutting the door. Oh I did see one word that was not capitalized when the rest were- memories- just to keep consistent. Thanks for sharing.

This is sad, and has the hollow ring that echoes in a house vacated when a family separates. It reminds me of the way I felt when I opened the door to the empty house that my first wife had vacated when she left me, and took all of the furnishings and my son. The fact that it used to echo happy noises made by the baby playing and the busy clatter of a home occupied by us just made the hollow vacant echoes heartbreaking. Nice work Dawn.
