 A little dream castle, with every dream gone
Is lonely and silent, the shades are all drawn
And my heart is heavy, as I gaze upon a cottage for sale.
The lawn we were proud of is waving in hay
A beautiful garden has withered away
Where you planted roses, the weeds seem to say, A cottage for sale
From every single window, I see your face
But when I reach the window, there's empty space
The key's in the mailbox, the same as before
But no one is waiting for me anymore
The end of our story is there on the door, A cottage for sale

Leave your keys at the door
You don't live here no more

I'm sick of the lies
Clouding my eyes

All wasted days
Because of the haze

You've muddied my mind
So sick of your kind

I'll have the locks changed
Things rearranged

You don't live here no more

Masterfully done. The photo and the post processing work together to beautifully illustrate this tear-jerker.

You did a super job of photographing "silence" and I'm not sure how you did it. It is not entirely the negative space, there is something else.

Oh, Judy, you almost have me crying in my cereal bowl this morning. What a sad and forlorn poem this is. Your image perfectly reflects the sentiments. The keys appear to be in quiet mourning.
