Once, there was laughter and tears
Here in this now abandoned room
Memories of a life filled with love
But now it resembles a tomb
***********************
Worn down with neglect and broken hearts
Like the paint peeling off the walls
Emptiness fills the voids within
Just as it fills these halls
************************
He made a promise that he would come back
Then one fateful day came the letter
And the love of her life was gone in a flash
As she crumpled inside like a sweater
************************
Little by little her heart found strength
In the need of her sweet children’s eyes
Alas, she moved on from the bitterest song
And let go – with farewells and goodbyes
