watching you
reminds me strongly
of watching a sandcastle being pulled away by the tide,
it crumbles in the wake of an unmovable force
and it gets lost leaving not the slightest trace
I wish there there was something I could do
to stop life washing you away,
but your far to soft to withstand
the harsh realities of this world that begin to envelop you

I really liked the metaphor used in this poem. It was really good. Keep it up!
