Empty House

Do you remember them? 

Them?.. people who stayed there.. that house?

The guy always looked admiringly at her 

Laughter and music was in bounty 

And...child she was always giggling! Perfect!

She says some intruder entered slowly

God knows, what happened ? he was brody

Was he? Time was to tell

Saw less and less of the guy

Lady smiled kindly..laughter heard occasionally..

And one day the house fell dangerously silent

Sealed from outside, like a far off Island

Walls waiting to let out the secret

Doors keeping the bitter safe secret

Windows could blew itself up from deep rut

Withering plants were hiding away ashamed

Spiders showed their unconquerable webs 

Rocking chair has stopped rocking 

Sun turned its back bringing in darkness

It was the saddest sight like a blotched canvas

Everyone who pried realised

It became an Empty, abandoned house

The questions, answers buried deep inside

Love humor laughter took umbrage 

Walls nebulous wait to crumble

Did anyone see the intruder?

What happened of them?

Intruder is not always visible

Lurks like a dangerous shadow miserable

Intruder engulfed leaving them famished

May be someday someone

Will open the door

Divine laughter will roar

Sun will shine and abundantly pour

Note: Intruder here was meant to be mental health issues/ health challenges/substance abuse /alcohol dependency...all these turn beautiful homes into empty houses.
