High up on the hills
By xa-xa-xa on DeviantArt

High up on the hills,

Stood an old Victorian house

built in the Gothic style.

Deserted, it had been

For over a century now.

Ignorant, so it is

To the changes, it is going through.

Glasses all shattered

Yet the panes locked tight.

Brocade curtains clinging

to their fading shine.

Walls hung with faded silks,

Echoing a long monotonous story

of the dynasty that lived.

Dusty old portraits

Swing with the dull song.

The dynasty is long gone,

But the house still stands tall.
