It sits empty near the lake
Waiting to come alive again
The furniture is covered in dust and cob webs
Everything is dark now
No one comes around
It remembers the parties
When the nights would never end
The days that the house was alive

SWEET! I like how it describes a "forgotten house" in the middle of nowhere. I also like how the house "remembers the parties." Awesome!

Good job Mike. I love the "it remembers the parties/when the nights would never end. " I would move the line "waiting to come alive again" to the end. It is too powerful to be at the beginning. The end would then be: "the times that the house was living/now waiting to come alive again" or something like that. I don't like the now but I can't think of anything better. Great poem.
