windows boarded
shades of blue and
grey we're the only
colors to shine through
the walls were stained
from rain that constantly fell
flowers could not grow
due to the lack of light
they died instantly
time passing just meant
more things to die
other places could simple
remodel with a new shade of paint and that'd be enough to be wanted again
but no matter how
many coats of paint
covered this place
the little potential
never failed to shine through
