I am the windowless house
I am the child who never peaks out
I am the light, I am the heat
I am the dog with no reason to speak
I am the broken door
The latch cracked it does not open anymore
I am the spring, I am the screws
They're rusted now for they have no use
I am the crumbling roof
It might last forever but there is little proof
I am the slate and the rotted leaves
Someday I'm gonna fall in on me
I am the windowless house
I am the child desperate to peak out
I turned of the light, surrendered the heat
I am the dog whose decided to sleep
