lost away to you

i'm flat against the constructs
unable to make a sound
i'm only examined by the punished
and I blend in too much to be found

it hurts me when you hang things
penetrating my delicate plaster
I like it better when you use tape
so you can just peal away the disaster

i'm curious why you cover me every time
there is other space to use
yet you wallpaper me like clockwork
hiding my bright color blue

why do you disgrace me so
when I hold all your things
I try so much to please you and hold
but it's hard with all the weight you bring

then the day will come
when all your possessions are too old
you'll tear down me and your life together
bulldozing over our entire home

i'd try my best to stand straight
keep that simply sturdy form true
but the force held would be too great
and i'd crumble down in the rubble, lost away to you
