CITADEL

The citadel of love comes crashing down and down,
Dunno where it shall fall,
The crumbs of my heart are scattered apart
Dunno how far they went from wall.
This wall I’d built to save me from attacks
But it could not sustain my identity for long
Got cracked in the changing weather of love
And exposed the truth-that I’m not too strong
The changing face of the people around,
Is what baffles me the most
One moment ally, minute later a spy
Is what haunts me like a ghost
My once dear friends - I considered them my world
Turned their backs too quick too soon
Dint realize where I’ll land, where all can understand
But I landed in a lonely cocoon
An aloof soul of mine, cried and whined whole night
Gasping for a grasp of warmth & care
Unsure of my fate I stood up all night
But no one came by - left me in despair

This world I fathomed as a lovely place
But to my dismal it has lost its grace

Greed and selfish-seems most dominant
Feelings and emotions-are no longer prominent

Is this life?!--where friends go so far...
…with earned money in hand and a brand new car!!

Man invented machine -- to relax and ease
But not to replicate its stiffness and evil grease

But that’s what has become of man
Leave their friends alone in cocoons
Cared nil of the years spent together by each side
All they care are their new silver spoons

With these last thoughts in mind, and tears in my heart
I look at my citadel, fall all apart…
Piece by piece, Brick by brick
I had built the citadel of memories
Cemented with love, structured with friends
I made the citadel, through flawless amends
But today my citadel finally breaks down
Citadel I built,, --- Citadel I cherished like a crown….
