watching as the world passes me by
December 14, 2023
I used to be a bright sunflower yellow,
now I am a sun-bleached white.
I watch, that is all I can do,
watching the inside as well as the out.
I watch people walking the streets daily,
talking, laughing, and sharing stories.
I watch the people who come and go from me,
living in but never staying.
I watch as the crows circle,
they have always loved my house.
But now I only rarely watch anything,
people have left, streets are empty, the birds have gone.
I am lonely, there is nothing alive here anymore,
and I fear I won't be either soon.
