The Ruins of Me

by A Victim of Fate   Oct 16, 2007


Mist shrouded stone,
Once a majestic home.
Sadness a seed that has been sown,
Fate's secrets hath been thrown.
Everything simply free,
The ruins of the castle stand,
The ruins of me,
On this foundation of sand.
Old and mossy, time has no hold,
On this fortress, stories left untold.
Here it hides many lies,
With each gust of wind you hear its sighs.
We used to come here to be alone,
To be away from the world's cruel tone.
With youthful vigor our imagination soared,
And together we built an invincible fort.
You were the knight, I the damsel,
Or play Gretal and Hansel.
But she was the one thing we never would have seen,
You fell in love, to her you did lean.
Your memory still haunts these invisible walls,
But I realize, in truth, it is you who falls.
This is all I have left of harmony,
But to me, to these ruins, this will always be,
The ruins of me.
