Dark windows;

Dusty panes

Creaking stairs,

Rusty doors.

Grey little light

And a silent old piano.

A broken stool,

Sadly there.

Her old glass mirror,

And pearl lined strings.

Yellowed and tarnished

All lonely now.

Hear the doorbell ring,

Shadowed footfalls.

Passed and gone words

Unused floors.

Fallen old beds,

Rotten old springs.

Smiling dolls

Waiting, waiting

For someone to come:

Forgotten.
