You and Me

And there is this castle, it is huge
well kept, tidy, polished
the walls show no stain of dirt or time.
Once some people lived there.
But they all left one by one.
There was fun and laughter and light in every window.
But now it is dark.
It was blessed, it was a home.
Now it's a house and They say it is cursed, haunted.
Once it created memories,
now it houses many.
It stands there upon a gloomy looking hill,
under a sky filled with clouds,
has a small unkempt garden however,
where flowers still grow
and bloom..
a showcase...
Something is always raging above,
something is always rumbling beneath
and still it stands,
tall,
stubborn,
proud.

Her dreams remained unfulfilled,
she dreamed no more.
Her life uncertain,
she wanted to live no more
Her wishes too real to be for real..
So one day
She ran away from her reality,
She ran all night,
She ran all Saturday,
She ran during the summer
She ran the whole spring out,
She ran till 3 AM
till she could see no more,
till she could hear no more
till she could run and feel no more.
Running away from them,
she ran into it...a castle or something like it
a drawbridge and beyond...
a beautiful garden,
enclosed in high polished walls,
on a green cheerful hill
under a clear blue sunny sky.
