I Am Rust

I was once the shiniest of all, I was like a tower - tall, My dreams were endless, Were endless like an infinite hall. The roar was deep, The daylight could not keep, The curtain descended down upon, The sides now saturated - into the building water shall seep. Slowly uncared for - I'm damaged, I decend into metals darkness, My fears have come to light, Sunlight had now shown upon my structure. The land and I now desiccate, The land not in upkeep, My life was in negligence, All seemed to be disremembered. The rays do their dance, I stand - still erect, Oxidization of my skin, O how it burns me so. Slowly I rot, Slowly I rust, Slowly I ruin, Slowly I conclude. I am rust...
