As it all falls down, my thoughts only ramble...

Sitting high upon, my fragile house of cards;
I look upon my poets, my singers and my bards;

Their faces toward the sky, my words they yearn to hear;
They do not know my secrets, they do not know my fear;

My cornerstone is set, upon tale of how I fly;
My image will be tarnished if they ever learn my lie;

I fear of how she'll see me, once she knows the truth;
There is no way around it, the wrong ones have the proof;

It's more than just the usual, it's detrimental strife;
My dams have started leaking, it's gonna end my life;

The life of how I know it, opportunities passed;
The life I never cherished, the life I lived too fast;

I hear the warriors coming, my castle starts to quake;
My secrets come to do me in, my life it wants to take;

I get a burst of courage, to her I tell it all;
I hope that with her knowing, my house of cards won't fall;

She screams and yells so loudly, "How could you do this to me?"
I try to calm her anger, she much to hurt to be...

...Ever in my corner, or ever on my side;
I feel the winds have shifted, I feel the rising tide;

Transgressions stacked against me, I fear this is the end;
I fear this time we'll never, be more than just pretend;

I must pay for my sins and they all are cashing out;
The chance that I can pay them, is one that's full of doubt;

I cannot run, I cannot hide, I cannot face my fears;
I cannot life, I cannot die, I cannot dry my tears...
