oh entropy, i am a leaning tower.
i am a patchwork raincoat
i tried to fill the holes
with someone else's fabric
but the rain comes in hard
and my patchwork is destroyed
i am made of brick
and slowly i am being disassembled
one crumbling red slab after another
until fragments of me
lay scattered and naked in an unsightly pile
i once stood tall
carrying my own weight
carrying your weight too
i once had strong shoulders,
strong mind, strong heart
but i am a leaning tower
and slowly i am being dismantled
my patches are being dissolved
and i am returning to Nothing,
to a place where i can be rebuilt.
