Description
It’s cold here
Fires long gone
Warmth seeping away
Leaving an emptiness

That slowly starts to claim
The places held dear
Laughter is just a memory
Like a ghost that lingers

Look around here
And see nothing
But specters of time
Of joys and sorrows

In the lives of families
Just trying to survive
In a life of ups and downs
Given no room for slack

Burdens hang heavy here
Almost overpowering everything
Joy fights valiantly
But goes the fastest

Walk around in echoes
Touch a forgotten memento
Feel the chill of the past
Memories threatening to overcome

It hurts to do this
But there is nothing left here
So cut the ties
And carry on.
