In the midst of walls,
Where echoes of solace slowly corrode,
A house once filled with laughter's delight,
Now engulfs my heart in gloom
Melancholy seeps through every soul
Silent whispers mock the emptiness
Piercing sadness drapes me whole
Pictures on the walls, frozen in time,
Remind me of laughter and joy so prime,
But now their colors have faded away,
Lost in the shadows of a somber gray.
The rooms that once bustled with vibrant life,
The halls, once filled with stories untold,
Are empty corridors that leave me cold,
