All That’s Left Standing

 

A stately house once stood, both built and ruined with tears and blood
 
Perhaps a peek through a window pane would’ve revealed too much
 
Might would’ve known they’d wind up walking on broken glass
 
That house was a home but its foundation had massive cracks
 
The walls tumbled down when light and laughter ceased, replaced by battlegrounds
 
All that’s left standing is a tower of bricks where a fire burned out
 
It’s destined to crumble into rubble with one harsh shove
 
Such is the story of a family and house that runs out of love
