Goodbye to My Childhood Home

Soft echoes fade in the empty halls

Memories whisper through these walls

Dust settles on the old staircase

Footsteps of the past I trace

Every corner, every door

Holds a thousand dreams and more

Time has turned this place so still

But the stories never will

Linger in the air I breathe

A bittersweet reprieve

Goodbye to this childhood home

Where my heart has often roamed

Turning keys, I let it go

But these memories will always glow

Sunlight through the broken blinds

Echoes of laughter, innocent times

Footprints on the weathered floor

Paintings of a life I adore

Seasons changed and so did we

But this house keeps history

In every crack and scar

Shining like a star

Goodbye to this childhood home

Where my heart has often roamed

Turning keys, I let it go

But these memories will always glow

Walking out the door at dawn

Every moment feels so gone

Yet in my soul, I hold

Stories that will never grow old

Farewell to my old walls

Echoes deep within these halls

Though I leave, I won't forget

This house, my first regret
