Escape To Space

Cardboard Castle

You told me

I was your princess

You were going to make me a castle

Everything was going to be fine

So you built

And kept making your walls

From far away

It was perfect

You were perfect

As I step through the trees

And get closer to the master piece

You shoo me away

Pushing me back

Only letting me stare afar

Finally

I look closer and move in

This castle you've built

Is nothing but cardboard

Inside

A shack

You lied

To make me feel special

When in reality

You weren't smart enough

To use proper materials

To keep it going

And now

With the first storm

The special castle

Is going to blow away

Taking the princess with it in the wind

As you stand

Not understanding

How it's your fault

And as the wind picks me up and moves me past you

I wave bye

Never turning back
