Our House
You and me we built the house
We lay down the foundation and screwed in our sides
It took us hours just to put the first few bricks down
Between brown and red brick it was hard to choose
It took days for there to be a single wall
We wondered how big each room should be
Together, we put up the siding
But it took a long time to get it to stick
We made the stairs colorful and bright
The floorboards shiny and smooth
We just recently added a door
You painted it red
I put in the windows
You constructed the chimney
I painted the insides
You put down the floor
I finished the roof
The house looked complete
But we walked away and didn’t see
We left out a support beam
And here we are today,
looking at a pile of us that used to be whole
