DRAFT All that glisters is not gold. 7 (To) Those who think not: let it be told. 8 Take heed the lessons I could not grasp, 9 And perhaps your gilt chains might just unclasp. 10 End: i realized it was (but) the the blind who told me I could not see; For I slid off my contacts, and saw the same (aureate) world... I had begun to look upon [] with shame, pity, and disgrace Angelic _ _ threads no longer etched in his face The silver lining is gone, gray and rust take its place Now when I look upon him, 'tis not a look of love, but of pity, shame, and disgrace, because I killed him and made him a prince maybe I created a world where the rust washed away Crumbling as easily as freshly fallen snow The same icy snow that melts into the hearts of the crown's next fallen victim The sword drops from my hand as I lay in defeat But the earth never took me as one of its own My skin and my flesh stood fast on my bones I laid there and cried for what seemed like a million tears But even the purest water(add: ,the purest apology,the purest regret) from the depths of my soul could never let the earth take me My eternal love for you, it will never let me go Time after time, day after day Pondering life as it all turns to gray The leaves and the sky stay the same, always_ _ I laid all alone yet I never did fade. Time after time, day after day, I laid all alone waiting for something to change As I pass though the graveyard I stop and I smile A flower is laid on an old marble grave The words on the stone were ones I had known very well A familiar stone etching of words once carved in my heart "An ephemeral limerance, ceased at long last"

Contacts/ The Midas Touch/ An Ephemeral Limerence
