The Life Neglected

This life neglected,
Before its' end.
Rip down the walls
This Earthen prison, bare
Those who come, beware
Be very ware.

Dead flowers,
Crushed 'neath scarred feet
Shards of broken glass,
Cutting deep
Mirror of revealing cracks,
A hidden destiny

Pictures of old,
Crumbling to ash,
These lives of
Stories never told
A waiting fate behind
The smiling faces

Vines entwined
Choking gnarled trees,
Dead leaves hiding
What lies beneath
The life neglected
Before its' end.
