HOMELESSI stand before a ruined house,HOMELESS by ~TatteredTabi
The foundation crumbling
Beneath its impressive weight.
I love this great manor of mine;
I built it with my own hands –
Laid every brick and stone,
Set every nail and board.
Its frescoes and sculpture,
Its architectural splendor,
Are miraculous creations
From my very soul.
It was built with compassion,
Trust, and empathy,
Capable of healing loneliness,
Anger, and despair.
But this mansion of my dreams
Means nothing now,
For it is empty, its inhabitants
Long departed to other palaces.
So the mortar cracks and
The archways fail, and
Its walls refuse to house anything
Save sadness and fear.
Its brilliance fad
