Abandoned building


I am an abandoned building 

Roof caving in and empty inside 

Body hollowed out

I am an abandoned building

Any worth I once had is gone

Exterior graffitied with scars

  I am an abandoned building 

                  Vines growing on the exterior as if they are trying to strangle me

All that's left is a skeleton of what I once was

I am an abandoned building

Memories forgotten

Windows shattered and water damage 

I am slowly falling apart with no one who cares enough to put me back together 

I am an abandoned building
