Why Try to Change Me Now.

In the midst of building a castle, you kissed a brick.
and placed it right where it belonged. You kept building
The castle of your dreams and hopes. Kept laying bricks over
The one marked with your lips. Soon, you poured all the cement
All over. You hid it further, maybe not intentionally. But you
Kept on building, and continued hiding. The castle was half-way
When you decided to see it again.

In the rubble of your destructed and demolished castle.
You remember being their clown, they still wonder, laugh
And frown. But you thought you knew where you laid it.
You wait now, for the discovery, or maybe a repercussion
Of your forgetful self. Its lost now, the one you kissed during
Your castle. Neither the brick, not the castle stands now.
So much for a dreamy happiness and a piece of your heart.

"I have always loved you, and will do till the moon turns
Upside down, and don't you remember, I was always your clown?
I am sorry I forgot where I placed you in the fumes and
Smoke of these dreams and hopes. But let me answer,
Why try to change me now?"
On a sheet of my metal you etched these lines, near the ruin
So whenever they come to visit, they read.

Abandoning your Utopia, you went to a silent place.
Accusing and abusing your intentions, because you knew.
Right where it was, just beside the foundation of the dome
And underneath  a peace of cloth, that you slipped for remembrance.
But don't you remember now, you never wanted
Neither the castle, nor the kiss. So on your way home
You thought you 'd break it all down, abandon and find another reason.
