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.
