abandoned

I'm in an abandoned house sort of mood today.  The ones that you see from the road as you drive into the countryside.  Ones that have been long deserted and look as if the earth is ready to swallow them up.

I want to go inside and explore.  Lay down on the old floorboards and think of the people that once lived there.  Someone used to love this place.  Someone grew up here, dreamed here, walked these floors, looked out these shattered windows. 

Maybe they still do...
