A dollhouse coated in a layer of dust,
Smiling figures dance about their lives.
A mom reading on the couch, a dad cooking in the kitchen,
Happy children playing upstairs.
A suburban neighbourhood, a normal home,
There’s yelling downstairs again.
An angry mother and a helpless father,
A daughter spewing awful words.
A child crying in their room,
an older sibling trying to patch their wounds.
A dollhouse sits in the corner, untouched for many years.
The happy family that never was.
