If you see me someday

If you see me some day,
From somewhere afar,
Don't cross that path,
Don't wave, don't shout,
Don't make any sound,
To make me look,
Don't move in a way,
To make me turn.

For I will wither there,
Standing will I wilt,
I will crumble before you,
A palace of playing cards,
A sand castle hit by the sea,
A sailboat in a storm,
Like ignited wood,
I will burn, I will burn.

If you ever see me someday,
From somewhere afar,
I plead, I pray,
Please walk away.
