Excellent poem, it contains a deepest sadness, most touchingly worded, David.
Silence echoes just the way memories keep coming back to tug our hearts. Very touchy poem.
Resonates with memories -- totally resonated with me. This is good writing. Top marks and putting this on my favorites list

A heart-rending piece of poetry, so sad and quite touching. Great rendition nicely put together.
A write that may only be fictional really hits home to me and I am sure to many. I have lost 3 family members. You have penned this into reality.
This is a an emotional and touching verse, though fictional but so realistic in details. The use of vivid images has painted a very poignant picture.
This is a beautiful poem. Even though fiction, it rings so true and IS true for many readers, I'm sure. Who could not relate to this? Well written, indeed.
This poem sounded rather sad, but within it, there is truthful word! Well done, thanks for sharing, David!
one new day memories will fill the house but until then the house remains silent written with lots of emotion
the poem might be fictional to you but I truly understand and to certain extend relate to it. beautiful poetry...just beautiful
Good imagery sir but I can't help but feel like there's more to add
