My House

There are no windows, just walls, its pretty plain, no fancy wallpaper just walls,
no furniture, no tv, no chairs, just cold stone floors,
but you can hear the wind howling through the chimney,
yes, there is a fireplace, and you can still see signs of a fire,
if you pay closer attention in the darkness,
you can still see the wallpaper, faded though,
you can see the chairs, chewed to dust by the termites,
and in the kitchen you can see the wine bottles on the rack,
dust coated, rotted corks,
on the floor there are mere signs of the rich rugs that illuminated the floors
gave warmth to this house, yes there once were windows,
when you could see the outside,
and a while ago it wasn't so cold,
but the dust turned cement and plaster,
and the fireplace went out
now you see nothing,

this is my house.
