Big round jewels, indigo sapphires….
faith and trust is their hue.
Deep and unwavering… like my eyes watching yours.
And there are red rubies… my love, my lust…
Pearls of innocence, soft as those words of tenderness.
Diamonds, clear and bright,
as the hope I cherished.
Tumble out of my mind,
falling,
falling……
aghast.
All the colors draining from my heart…
to the now dead bouquet of roses you left,
Decaying on my bedroom floor…. still cherished
where we laughed, just a week ago.
You told me not to worry.
But, the tears have come anyway
And I am feeling like the biggest fool.
Finding photos of a half naked girl
on your floor, 3 days after you left….
What should I feel?
Smarter than that?
Tougher than that?
Unmoved?
