We Built Something, Only to Live in It

The wood of where we once were swells with the dark rain The frames that still stand wobble at the downward force of the downpour A hurricane tore the roof off years ago Now me and the house stand naked under the night sky Little of the house remains It seems to moan in the wind I remember this house being haunted Now it seems even the ghosts abandoned it The marks in the floor where we put our bed washed away with the rest of the house The rain is relentless There's no trace of our ever having lived here Besides my current presence All we can see is our neglect And abandonment The absolute state of our house says it all We built something Only to live in it
