Personal- Melancholy These four walls
Are paperthin;
The foundation
Is too cracked.
This sturdy-appearing
Building is
Only a façade;
It’s crumbling.
Each brick was
Mortared in place
With melancholy.
Each floor tile was
Trampled on
By rejection’s feet.
The faucets leak,
The windows
Barely creak open.
It’s an abandoned home
With an expired
Lease on life.
