Analysis of House of cards
Nandha Rejikumar 2001 (Kerala)
I built it up
With all my love
Utmost devotion
And endless care
Gave my everything
True and fair
Yet here I am
Deep in pain and despair
I always thought
Till time eternity
Together will be us
Forever and ever
But then you showed
How there was no 'Us'
No forever nor eternity
For love was never
Our beautiful reality
You killed my soul
And tore my heart
All you needed
Was a moment and half
To make it crumple
Down like a house of cards
