Written to the prompt Write a poem from the perspective of an abandoned building.

I was once loved inside and out,They, the many that had known me,Called me beautiful, a rose amongst thornsLovers praised me in foreign tongues,I held joy in one hand and comfort in the other,My ambidextrousness proving as vital as my front facing smile,If these walls could talk they would tell you nothing,For not even you are around to hear
