You glistened like gold When I first saw you I was elated T'was as if I had found a pirates treasure You brought with you high promises So high that even you were unable to reach it You pursued me to help you for your own selfish needs Yet you failed to observe I was a smoldering piece of coal Almost burnt-out

Misconception
You glistened like gold When I first saw you I was elated T'was as if I had found a pirates treasure You brought with you high promises So high that even you were unable to reach it You pursued me to help you for your own selfish needs Yet you failed to observe I was a smoldering piece of coal Almost burnt-out
Burning yourself to brighten someone else
