The Empty Castle

Aahhhhh!!  
Thump thump  
Aahhhhh!!  
Thump thump  
 
I cleared out some of the clutter in my heart and staked the plot that I used to build you a home where you could dwell. I did not dare build you a mansion.  
No.  
For you deserved so much more.  
 
Thump thump  
 
Thus I constructed a castle complete with fortifications made impregnable by my passion for the light behind your eyes. I presented to you my labors, proud of what I'd built, the thought of you basking in the courtyard garden surrounded by the flowers comprised of devotion and ardor conjured the warmth that I needed to breathe fire into the hearths that burned brightly.  
 
Thump thump  
 
My pride ebbed into melancholy as you laid seige to my towers, rattled my parapets and then trapped me in the dungeons beneath the seat of great power I'd created to be your very own!  
 
Thump thump  
 
And before I knew it you had walked away leaving me buried beneath the rubble you'd wrought and now I'm weighed down by what remains of my declaration of amity, poorly aimed.  
 
Thump thump  
 
With torn hands and shattered bones I clawed myself free, only to emerge staring at a plateau where once my affection was erected in its grandeur.  
And then I too finally walk away...  
 
Thump thump  
 
I tramp the barren desolation wracked by sputters and heaving.  
The air taste of metal and regret save for the garnish of bile lingering on the back of my tongue. I sample the flavor, savoring the sorrow and the fetid rank to remind myself why I will never return to this place. No, I'll not find myself here once more , in this space, a conception of my own design, where the air hangs thick with a miasma of rancid ire, this toxic mire of loss and sordid hopeless dross, sprinkled with broken aimless thoughts!  
 
Thump thump  
Aahhhhhhhh!!!  
 
As per our connection my sole aspiration did once reside in fashioning myself into a connoisseur of your quintessence and genius yet by your perception merely my supposed obsolescence was heeded!!  
 
Thump thump  
 
You dismissed my candore, and took for naught my inclination to grant you the deed to my sentiment then proceded to belittle my intent to cede to you my attentions!  
 
AAaHhhhhh!!!  
RAAHHhhhhh!!!!  
Thump... Thump...  
 
Now I'm ragged and hollow plagued by the phantom of my love for you that gratingly follows my listless shambling about in the depths of rejection, feeling dejected, writhing in the throes of reflection...  
 
You were never worth it.  
 
Thump...
