Castle of Sand

Under the shades of the awakening night
When the Sun drowns under the cupids in sky
I stare upon an estranged 'marriage'
Which fell apart like a castle of sand.

Many Summers ago when we first met
Two hands clasped together we walked
In the golden sand, diving into each other
Like an addict madly entangled by lust.

The world and it's rules didn't exist
As we broke and invaded societal norms
Fiery frown failed to bound
Yet, soon emotions began to change.

The clock ticking moments slowly ceased
And transformed into a ritual to act.
Diplomacy became a hard-hitting truth
As we realized that there was no love anymore.

We parted ways, taking strolls in Lost lands
He became something that was alien to the man I loved
And I adopted a self inflicted mirror deceit and lies
Today each has achieved everything perhaps, except Peace.
