They all look similar, but not quite right.
That porch too prim, that roof too tight.
I’ve stood through storms and fading trends,
watched lovers, liars, lifelong friends.
Still, vinyl smiles in morning light.
The new one gleams in virgin white,
sells smart-tech locks as pure delight.
But who confides or makes amends?
They all look similar.
I’ve creaked with grief, I’ve swelled with spite,
held secrets close on sleepless nights.
If paint could judge the way it bends,
you’d see which house the truth defends,
and which just copies out of fright.
They all look similar.
