The Abandoned House (For Eng. Class)

The sign I saw, three days ago
I saw it - and the unkept
"For Sale" - a phrase that didn't match
The empty house with the broken hatch
I sighed - the forlorn place, it seemed
to weep, a plea to be redeemed
I noticed, however, that I was drawn
to those cracked windows - to see beyond
The fence between us, both metal and mind
Searching for a flicker, something to find
that could be the kindle to that tiny flare
and ignite the wonders that lie in there
I blinked - the image, it disappeared
The empty house stood silent here
But I'm sure the house could feel it, too
The contemptuos waves thst rise from you
Because all other others saw was an empty place
Not a buried dream in this empty space
