Rundown

Quote: "The ruins show that this castle was magnificent once"--Indian idiom

In the ruins of a castle, a tale unfolds,
A story of beauty, where history molds.
Rundown remnants whisper secrets untold,
Of a lady with smiles, enchanting and bold.

Once she graced halls in her youth,
A love story sparked, a flame in truth.
With time, the melodies aged like fine wine,
Yet, love endured, a vintage divine.

Through changing seasons, our hearts intertwined,
Spring's bloom to autumn's decline.
In winter's chill, roots held firm and cold,
Never rundown, a love story to be retold.

Vibrant life once, now marked by age,
Yet, a resilient spirit on history's page.
Though the body may falter, and time takes its toll,
The charm persists, a timeless soul.

As the castle crumbles, and walls decay,
Love's echo lingers, it will not sway.
In the rundown echoes of a once mighty tower,
A resilient love, an enduring flower.
