Just a ghost in this house

Just a ghost in this house

Just words.

Once love was alive and well in our home. Laughter, song and the noise of the children are gone now.
Today a deadly silence in the house.

Two stranger rarely talk and the house became a prison.

Once lovers now barely friends. Holding on to the thread of hope.

I wonder can love be brought back to life from the dead? Is dead love just sleeping emotion or had time stole the will and kindness
away forever?

Today two strangers share a house. Just ghost waiting for a escape or a miracle.

  The song isn’t a happy song. Brought back the bad days of love departing us. I enjoyed your work and you are welcome.

I’ve got to say this just disappoints me–Krauss used to have such a powerful and unique voice, and this sounds like typical mainstream sugar-coated schmaltz. What happened to the fiddles?

  I don’t know. I like the song. Real life give us song of misery and the song of joy. The song is poetry. Thank you Chuck for reading and the comment.
