Look inside
Through the old
Cobwebbed windows
Through the weary
Weathered glass
And you will see
Bare and barren walls
Stripped
Of picture and memory
And of good times past
Bleached
Of the vibrant colour
That once was
Where remnants of furniture
Once lavish and soft
Remain torn and
Broken
So that comfort is
Void
As they stand
Defiant
Upon bare
Cold floors
That yield
No sense of home
No flickering sense
Of belonging
In this place
Where solitary sound
Frantically bounces
From each empty room
To the next
Desperately seeking
The loving yellow light
And warmth that
Once
Lived here
Only to uncover
The faded
Grey
Shadows
That haunt
This empty place
Shadows
Which reach deep
Into the hidden centre
Shrouding
Its very core
In thick
Black
Darkness
Hiding
From eyes that dare
To inquire.......
The burnt
Charred
Remains of me.[/b]

WOW, J this is fantastic!!  Loved it.  

Yes, I am here, but I am dead, not alive,
my body goes on, my spirit has died,
and I though alive, feel dead inside.
