It's amazing how much hurt can be held in a house
Unspoken thoughts threatening to shout
Floors lose their luster, Flowers wither away
Smiles replaced in anguishes face
I'd tell you a tale of a house I once knew
A happy family which kept a secret or two
With a sudden crushing word and blistering cry
It's amazing how fast a house can die.

This is a poem I wrote in the heat of a moment, actually on the notes section of my phone.
