A House In Ruins
And a glass of water in it
A glass of water that seems out of place
Out of place in a house in ruinsA house in ruins due to years of neglect
Neglect, a natural consequence of eventsEvents starting with a murder
Murder of a family in that houseThat house, neighbors on the street avoid
Avoid talking and thinking aboutAbout a decade ago, this was not the case
The case was to them, mysteriousMysterious because the family died in the afternoon
The afternoon they were supposed to go outGo out to the temple with their neighbors
Neighbors that today choose not to rememberRemember that murder that had no witness
No witness to explain the eventsThe events that resulted in a murder
A murder of crows flies above the townThe town turns a blind eye, yet again
Again, there is that glass of waterA glass of water that is still half full
Half full and half empty, as alwaysAlways waiting in the ruins
In the ruins, in the dusty houseThe house that everyone forgot
