House
My life was only one house
With everything just so
Each passing year,
The clutter built up
Making it harder to know
What was truly here
And what had faded long ago
As the time went by,
This house I knew so well
Was small
And cramped
Unstable
Small movements sent things
F
A
L
L
I
N
G
Deep
Where they couldn't be seen
Layers of dust and debris
Shallow my breaths
With everything just so
Each passing year,
The clutter built up
Making it harder to know
What was truly here
And what had faded long ago
As the time went by,
This house I knew so well
Was small
And cramped
Unstable
Small movements sent things
F
A
L
L
I
N
G
Deep
Where they couldn't be seen
Layers of dust and debris
Shallow my breaths
