Fallen Castle Poem by Will Human

You left me here on the side of the street
Watching you drive away with my heart
I felt my stomach dropp down to my feet
And now I don’t know where to start

My castle is now dark and full of despair
With nothing comforting allowed to stand
i bash the doors beyond repair
ignoring the complaints of my broken hand

I fall to the fractured floor
A place where we once shared love
My breath stops to the very core
And I curse to whoever is above

How could I bring this upon myself
How could this have been my choice
I tried to save my mental health
But my heart booms with a different voice

The splinters pierce my skin
But I can hardly feel the pain
My tears wash over the wood
But its my soul that I feel drain

The pain of standing hurts more than before
but I have to fight right through it
if I am to ever be yours once more
the ache would have been worth

I have to rebuild the wall you knocked down
Making sure that no one gets through
Reluctantly reclaiming my throneless crown
But leaving a secret passage just for you

It is the only light that remains
and so it will stay
until I can break these chains
I wait until that day
