Hollow House

by justjo66

Hollow House

Dark house on a hill
Now stands uninhabitable
Hard-heartedness ruled
No forgiveness lived there

Hades prevailed

Weeds grow on hallowed ground
No flowers can be found
Once there was a home
Now a hollow house
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

End of the hall, left door
is where he did the deed
killed himself it was decreed

It seems he could not do it
Live without her was his truth
He laid down on the bed
they had shared
Put a gun to his head
ended his pain

I wish he had given life more time
Yet, it wasn't meant to be
I hope his soul is now free
For me, I miss him



Recognized


This was inspired this morning as I left for work. I looked across at my neighbor's home standing empty with weeds growing tall and felt so sad for my friend. He was only in his forties and had so much life still to live.
