Movado

I gave you a ruby for your eyes

And diamonds to brush against your skin

I had the people bow down to you

They fed you roses, showered you with respect, And prayed for your health before going to sleep

 

But I can only shown you the throne

In your mind and heart must you sit and share this wealth.

In my mind you left nothing but dust

And dirt in which I cannot grow from

 

In my mind I can only hold your memory

And the promises that sounded so sweet to my ears But was only vibrations in reality

 

As king I cannot promise you that my walls will never crumble.

That my armour is made of gold

And that thyself is just as pure

i asked of you to feel the rhythm of your heart but all you could feel was the shine from my movado.
