Lost Place
#LostPlace

Shutting the doors on that run down house that once brought beautiful flowers my way... children's laughter filled the rooms reminding me everything's going to be okay... comforted by God's warmth... dancing through the rooms time after time... dreaming of that special day where I'm swept into euphoria... rainy days meant kids didn't go to school... instead it was our movie day to lounge around on our body pillows watching movies at play... fingerpainting on huge canvas blocks and whatever else may have gotten in the way... slowly churning over the years... water pipes bursting leaving a stale smell to match that of all the torment... laughter began dissipating... life became unmanageable and divorce took it's course... no more sunshine lighting up the rooms... dancing went out the window... children were removed once I abandoned that old rugged house... now it's barely standing... darkness creeps into the worn down window panes... depression is what I'm reminded of... all those rusty nails came popping out... a fire tornado took it's course... a place to start anew without any reprimand.
