Your castle

Did you hear my castle fell,

from a tyrant and hero alike.

Each brick took away part of my small kingdom

Safe inside my walls I feared no evil.

To practise love and forgivness without the eyes of the world upon me.

To learn how to love without having to take the credit,

to learn how to give without ever recieving reward.

Loving more with every moment, until my castle fell.

Now you stand in my courtyard but see no love.

you see broken bricks and a scared man

With nothing to his name but the dreams on his back,

I think in that moment you decided that there was nothing here to take

With little disregard for your mess and trouble

You left without looking back, assured in your smugness that I now have even less.

My castle fallen, my walls are broke and that scared man still stands.

But my love and forgivness will always remain here.

Long after your walls fall.
