The Fort~
Walls of wool blankets and yellow sunshine
You held my hand and said
We'd be just fine
Your laugh was like starlight falling through the sky
The moment was infinite
But there's truth in a lie
The moon changed its shape as the world quickly spun
Our fort in the darkness showed what you'd become
Now the windows are closed and the stars overhead
Make patterns in make believe of words that you said
I glanced at your face in the dark and blinked twice
I held my breath as you rolled the dice
I braced myself for the coming farewell
As our walls tumbled down
And the empty fort fell
You walked away without looking back
The easiest road was the one painted black
Your eyes never saw what lay behind mine
For unfallen tears
Can turn the heart blind
