Abandoned
My walls have decayed
I am not longer able to stand
The facade that once was
Crumbles under my weight
Splintering and peeling
My bones are rotting
Once full of warm life
Now all departed
Desolate and afraid
One spark and I will burn
Forgotten by all who knew me
I am utterly abandoned

Sad for the house but lovely post.
Thanks so much!
My pleasure.
What beautiful write on the prompt. Bravo.
Thanks so much 🙂
I love old abandoned houses – I keep a whole Pinterest board of them. I always like to imagine what life was like for the house when it was in its prime. Lovely post!
I enjoy that also! Thank you 🙂
lovely words…. that photograph is amazing…..
Thank you!
The strong imagery of this poem hits the heart with ‘thought splinters’. The metaphor here depicts the inner turmoil. Very well expressed in this poem.
❤️
You are interpreting it very well then- for there is certainly meaning behind the words. Thank you for seeing me ❤️
I don’t want to sound intrusive. But I hope everything is fine at your end. One with empathy sometimes feels more compared to others. It’s not right for me to ask further, but I wish that you take care and yes having faith in yourself will help you tide over the challenges. Take care. And if you wish to discuss anything with me let me know. I am here. ❤️
Thank you SO much for asking!!! I don’t mind your asking at all 😀 I am struggling with some choices I’m making… they go against what I know is right and it’s tough 😦 xx
Take care. I hope you everything is sorted out soon and although they must be tough decisions, may you overcome them. Blessed be! *Hugs*
So many thanks my friend and for being perceptive towards my mood. (hugs)
wonderful poem!
Thank you so much 😀
