I made a House of cards,
Storeys going up to infinity.
Clouds were too small to be seen,
And was god to this world.

Each card put down with a whip of breath,
And when the heart skipped a beat.
I didn't know something,
Which intrigued me too deep.

I rushed down from the top,
Reached the ground.
After a long time,
I saw my House of cards standing tall.
Beautiful and Glorious.

I could see till where the sky ended,
But it didn't.
Saw My House Of cards from the earth,
When my eye caught a glimpse of something.

My first card ever placed, An Ace.
It doesn't even matter, the first card,
It has a crack on it!
I realised
It was going to fall down.
All of it.

Oh not soon after,
did I see it all coming down.
Down to earth,
Down to me,
to taste the smell of water,
Coming down to the ground with,
a dark blue downpour.

I stood there, on my first card.
Wet and damp,
Until it dawned on me that...


My House of Cards was just any other thing,
which was built with love to see it being broken.
And to see it ending.
Hello Everyone.
This poem is about how all of it ends.

Friends are like a house of cards;
The moment you take one out, they all fall apart.
But that's just life

I've been climbing up these stairs for so long now,
But I'm still standing from where I started this brawl,


Is this a joke or am I part of a haunted story,
Cause lately I've been deprived of all the light and glory,


I try so hard to take one more step ahead,
But I fall back even harder instead,


I can hear the voices telling me to let this go,
Except that I am not ready yet to **** my own show,


How do I beat this out with merely a house of cards?
I'm not even an expert at beclouding my battle scars.

— The End —
