Fatality Of A House

Contributed By: chuck
I crept through the house,
passing from room to room.
It’s not even fit for a mouse,
this recently lived in tomb.
A house lost from uncaring,
was once someone’s dream.
A musty reek to my sickening,
whispers a cry for self-esteem.
A treasured home of pride,
malformed and desecrated.
Sullied throughout the inside,
scarred from a human horrid.
Light oozed in from a window,
stirring shadows of cracked slate.
I can sense a chilling sorrow,
as decay hastens its optional fate.
Power once electrified its spirit,
now disconnected to lay dormant.
Such a lonely heartrending sonnet,
restored only by an enchantment.
