They Would Whisper

I was beautiful once

Loved and cared for

I was majestic and splendid

People would walk by

And stop to admire

They would whisper 

Between themsleves

I wonder who lives here

I wish she was mine

I'd give anything to own her 

But I was empty

And left to rot and fade

People would walk by

But they stopped admiring

They would whisper 

Between themselves 

I wonder who abandon her

I wish someone would fix her

She needs a lot of work and time 

And rain fell

And sun beat

And time took its toll

And people would walk by

They would whisper

Between themsleves 

How disgusting

What an eyesore

I don't know how she's even standing

I would tear her down 

I heard them all 

I believed them

And I prayed for my destruction

Since no one knew my story
