The House on Haunted Hill

Elisa Ashley
Once upon a time it goes
I brought to you, my love, a rose
we loved together and I do still
at the house on haunted hill

Our love once bloomed in summer's sun
worries, problems on the run
I must say I miss you still
from the house on haunted hill

You have been gone for much too long
my love for you still sings its song
the heaviness in my heart grows still
in the house on haunted hill

Soon the leaves and creaking trees
will be the only words for these
my love's true heart and honest fill
surrounds the house on haunted hill

Cloudy skies and darkened eaves
are all that remain of what we leave
our laughter dances, echoes still
through the house on haunted hill

    I like.......flows nicely. Bittersweet theme, but isn't that what life really is?
