Sand Castles

Sand Castles

Castles are supposed to be strong;
Something about walls always 
Seem so strong...
I was like a sand castle-
Everyone was so caught
On my walls;
They never wondered
What was behind them-
Maybe its something 
About walls being strong-
Or is that unapproachable?-
Castles are not 
Something to be held;
They hold things-
I was a sand castle,
So I held everything in;
Every grain of sand,
I held inside myself...
I'm not sure if he realized
That sand castles are not
Meant to be held-
He thought I would be strong;
Castles are supposed to be strong-
But I was a sand castle and
So I could only crumble;
He let me slip through
His fingers...
He was the only one
To see behind my walls...
But I was only a 
Sand castle;
I held nothing but sand-
I am nothing
But sand.
