SandCastle

You were no gallant prince

and i was no banished princess,

no white horse to rescue your lady

to enchanted wilderness.

This was no technicolor movie

there was never any magic

no happily ever after,

it was destined to be tragic.

Wasnt you who made the wind,blow

wasnt you who made it rain,

wasnt you who made the sun,shine

was you though,who planted the pain.

There was no reason to think

you'd stand by me when all hell broke lose,

you were a coward who took the first ride home

when you got the bad news.

This was no fairytale

there would be no forever,

perfect combination,i was foolish enough

and you were adequately clever;

the kingdom we built

the world we designed,

was nothing but a sandcastle

easily swept away with the tide.

It was a frivilous pursuit

to weave myths to my dreams,

took you no time to join back the real world

leaving me in entangled sumwhere in between.

You left without giving any answers

so i dug holes into my conscience,

desperately finding faults with myself

but now its all begun to make sense.

'

After ending my internal quest

and snapping out of my rapture

i realised,you had painted a mirage

which had no inkling of a future.

There was no reason to think

you'd stand by me when all hell broke loose,

you were a coward who took the

first ride home when you got the bad news.

This was no fairytale

there would be no forever,

perfect combination,i was foolish enough

and you were adequately clever;

the kingdom we built

the world we designed,

was nothing but a sandcastle

easily swept away with the tide.
