Dear Dumfries,
I am all alone.
Cold, damp and empty,
a vessel of unwanted feelings.
No one cares for me,
All I want is to be loved.
People walk by
and forget that I am even standing here,
un-noticed and unloved.
The buildings next to me have been plastered and cared for, yet I remain a skeletal wreck.
Weeds, bushes and moss are suffocating my once fancy brickwork.
The rain water is leaking inside and out, creating a green slime on my exterior.
I am hurting.
Please hear me, please love me.
Please notice me, please forgive me.
