Bury The Castle

-Bury The Castle-
by

She said
I love you
She said
I want to help you
She spoke
Many amazing lies
Then one dark day
She walked right by
She did not stop
She did not turn around
She just moved right along
I watched her go
Never have I ever
Felt so terribly alone
Never has my heart
Hurt so much
But no matter what I wished
No matter what I wanted
I just let her go
No longer could I hurt her
In the ways that I had
I could not further betray
My unrelenting love for her
If she didn't want me
Then it was best
I had to let her go
I had to bury the castle
The fortress of our love
That her and I had built
One time I was her prince
One time she was my princess
No greater fairytale has been known
At least by her and I
Any mountains
Any obstacles
Anything that stood in our way
Would easily be torn down
Laid to utter waste
Anything, including us
We were our own doom
Our own crucible of condemnation
We tore each other to pieces
Dismantling our trust
And certainly the framework of our love
She was first to speak
Her words, like knives
Cutting so incredibly deep
When she was done
Removing all that she owned
From the home we once shared
No longer, never again
So eloquently she spoke
She walked out
I just let her go
Goodbye seemed out of place
A sad smile
Is all that I could make
She made something else
A sense of relief flooded her face
She knew she was free
The hole that I had dug was deep
To the greatest of depths I went
Tearing down all that we had
Placing it into the ground
Never again
Will it be found…
